A contribution of e.g. 10% to the costs of EASA is certainly cheaper than doing 100% of the same job alone at the UK CAA.Poiu wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 10:37To increase which costs?sn26567 wrote: ↑07 Mar 2020, 00:12 UK ‘will leave’ EASA, says British Transportation Secretary
The UK will withdraw as a member state of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency after a transition period and shift responsibility for aircraft certification and safety regulation to its own Civil Aviation Authority, British Transportation Secretary Grant Shapps said.
A new way to increase costs! What a stupid decision!
If the U.K. wants to remain a member of EASA they will certainly have to pay a contribution to do so.
Why would it be a stupid decision if the UKCAA can do it for the same price?

Re: Brexit and British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, et al.
Here is a British study (published already in 2017 by the Royal Aeronautical Society) that concludes that "the UK should remain within EASA."
https://www.aerosociety.com/media/6797/ ... brexit.pdf
It says a.o. that " A single European certification requirement has reduced costs and time for development, certification and production."
"Far from diminishing UK influence in global aviation, the EASA regime has provided a conduit for UK influence on aviation safety and security within Europe and beyond on behalf of the UK passengers flying on airlines around the world; indeed, the UK has been a major driver of ever-closer alignment on regulatory matters across Europe and the negative impacts of its withdrawal would be felt across the continent, to such an extent that EASA would likely be diminished in stature as an organisation."
It seems that dogmatic decisions of the Boris Johnson government are completely stupid.

Europe’s transport chief has warned airlines that they must face up to their obligations to overhaul share-ownership structures to continue qualifying for single-market flying rights after Brexit.

Aer Lingus parent IAG says flights will continue after Brexit despite ongoing questions about the impact of EU airline ownership rules on the Irish carrier.

IAG is confident of meeting all EU regulations relating to its ownership British Airways, it said after the CEO of rival Ryanair suggested it may have to jettison the UK flag carrier after Brexit.

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said a UK split from the EU without a trade deal could threaten the planemaker’s investment plans in the country.
Spain’s government is working on an emergency ‘plan B’ that allows maintaining air connectivity with the UK in the event of a hard Brexit.

Spain, Ireland and Hungary have tried and failed to loosen EU airline ownership rules in a draft aviation deal with the UK, out of concern about Brexit’s impact on IAG (UK), Ryanair (Ireland) and Wizz Air (Hungary).

CAA U.K.:
"...The UK-EU trade deal, announced on 24 December 2020, includes agreements on air transport and aviation safety which are due to come into effect at 23.00 GMT on 31 December 2020 when the UK ceases to take part in the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other EU institutions. While the agreements involve some elements of continuity, they do not constitute a replication of the UK’s regulatory arrangements as part of the EASA/EU framework. Many sections of the aviation and aerospace industries will face changes after 31 December, as this microsite sets out. We will study the detail of the new agreements and will update relevant pages of the microsite as information becomes clearer about how the new arrangements will work in practice..."

Aer Lingus has been forced to wet-lease aircraft from British Airways on its Belfast City to London Heathrow route because of “Brexit-related” complications.
