Continued EU access for UK airlines, hauliers and bus and coach operators agreed

The government has announced that "flights and access for hauliers and passenger transport between the UK and EU will continue whatever the Brexit outcome".

Roads Minister Jesse Norman said:

"The government believes that the best outcome is for the UK to leave the EU with a deal, but we will continue to progress sensible contingency plans.

The measures formally adopted by the EU today, together with the UK’s decision to grant equivalent rights, means that UK hauliers and coach operators will have continued access to the EU after 29 March 2019 whatever the outcome."

Any UK citizens driving to the EU will need additional paperwork after UK Exit in a no deal scenario, including an international driving permit, GB sticker and insurance green card. Commercial trailers weighing over 750kg and non-commercial trailers weighing over 3,500kg will also need to be registered regardless of the outcome.

Aviation Minister Baroness Sugg said:

"The measures adopted today by the EU will ensure that flights can continue in any scenario; deal or no deal.

This is good news, not only for the industry but most importantly it reaffirms the fact that passengers can book flights with confidence, as normal."
