I don’t know why this publication is trying to create alarm when the Eu have already made arrangements to ensure flights will still take place
Even the very same article has the following paragraphs

In response to Iata’s findings, British Airways told The Times it would fly all customers to their destinations and run a normal schedule for new and existing routes. Asked how that would be possible it said it had nothing to add. Ryanair would not comment and easyJet did not respond to a request. The Department for Transport said: ‘We are committed to ensuring that flights between the UK and EU continue, and the European Commission has published a proposal to make sure this happens. This clearly shows that in the event of no deal both sides are committed to maintaining connectivity. These combined reassurances should allow businesses and passengers to book and travel with confidence.’

Totally agree sad that media pull unfortunate people into their work when a little investigation shows these threats to be shams & scams for sensational reading & panic.
Please check responsibly outwith the media for actual facts.

All part of the project fear shenanigans. Both sides are equally to blame.

Why bother with facts when rumours and scaremongering get more attention?

When I read the original post, I thought, "I'm surprised at "Which?", this is such old news." It was originally published by the UK Government in a series of contingency plans on the Gov.UK website last year.

But then I read the article. It's not irresponsible to publish factual information and this isn't scaremongering. To suggest the scaremongering allegation is proven by the extract quoted:

"In response to Iata’s findings, British Airways told The Times it would fly all customers to their destinations and run a normal schedule for new and existing routes. Asked how that would be possible it said it had nothing to add. Ryanair would not comment and easyJet did not respond to a request."

is incorrect. The reason the airlines have responded as they have (or not responded in the case of Ryanair and easyJet), is the same reason that they haven't put any "warning" on their websites. Can you imagine what would happen if they did? People would think twice about booking their flights and that would affect business. The only thing I'm surprised at, is that "Which?" is surprised at this.

I just wish people could be more moderate in expressing their views. The contingency plans published by the UK government address real threats. Do you remember the so-called Millennium Bug? It was because government and businesses took the potential threats seriously that we didn't have the meltdown predicted.

And in the case of this particular 'issue', I'm not surprised that the EU is working on its own contingency plan - Iberia, part of the International Airlines Group, was one of the first airlines to flag this potentially serious problem - again, last year.

If you really want to understand the potential issues, sign up for Brexit alerts on the http://www.Gov.UK website.
