The United Kingdom will leave the European Union in 100 days' time.
Given the continued uncertainty in the UK surrounding the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement, as agreed between the EU and the UK on 25 November 2018 – and last week's call by the European Council (Article 50) to intensify preparedness work at all levels and for all outcomes – the European Commission has today started implementing its “no deal” Contingency Action Plan. This delivers on the Commission's commitment to adopt...

On November 28, 2018, the United States and the United Kingdom (UK) agreed on the terms of a new bilateral “Open Skies” Air Transport Agreement (the Agreement) that will become effective upon the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Currently, U.S.-UK air transport is governed by the European Union (EU)-U.S. Open Skies Agreement (EU-U.S. Agreement).
