Hi, you should consider the upcoming Brexit chaos, which is expect to
have a high impact on all airlines. Currently I wouldn't bet that all
parties involved get things sorted out until May...
I very much doubt that Brexit will cause anything approaching choas
insofar as airlines are concerned. Currently all international flights
are governed by the Montreal Convention which was signed by the
individual states of the EU and not the EU itself, and the ICAO which is
a UN function. They will remain in force regardless of the UK's status
vis-a-vis Brexit. There may be the additional annoyance of EU folks
having to pass through passport control depending on the final
disposition of Brexit, but that's probably it.
Chaos is a persuasion word that has zero measurable technical meaning,
it's purpose is to allow your mind to fill it's space with your worst
nightmares. Whenever I see it in the news I assume that the writer is
ideologically opposed to whatever event the writer is describing and
lacks any evidence to back up their claims.
Airlines have had years to prepare for Brexit, and humans are generally
pretty good at avoiding disasters that they've know about for years. My
guess is that on Brexit day you won't even notice, save having to pass
through an automated passport kiosk.
