The Sunday Times published the following excerpt of a letter from Mark Tanzer in response to its article about holidays after 29 March, the letter stressed that flights will continue, even in the event of a no-deal, and holidays will go ahead as planned.
UK citizens can be assured that, even in the event of a no-deal Brexit, planes will still fly between the UK and the EU (“No-deal warning: don’t go on holiday after March 29”, News, last week).
Both the EU and the UK government have made commitments on this. British people take more than 50m trips to the EU every year, contributing €37bn (£33bn) to the economies of EU nations. This tourism also generates £28bn in revenue for Britain and supports more than 200,000 UK jobs. Deal or no deal, both sides want to continue to enjoy these benefits. Maintaining good travel links is a priority.
