I hope it is a hard Brexit with no agreement.

Let’s watch the EU come groveling to the UK in order to negotiate trade deals.

:: national government had set out detailed plans on how airlines would meet “ownership and control requirements ::

Ahhhhh, the Utopia known as socialism.

The airlines aren’t “nationalized” but the government tells them how to run their business.

Mussolini would have been proud.

If a European plane takes off without having complied with every petty, minuscule EU regulation, will the bureaucrats of Brussels shoot it down?

Yeah, that won't send the whole EU up in flames, not at all.
