EU plans to ground British flights to the EU for no deal

[Zigenare]

The clarification is:

"These measures will only ensure basic connectivity and in no means replicate the significant advantages of membership of the Single European Sky."

The text you quote says "certain air services"

Sure you may be right, but why are they warning of disruption, when it wouldn't affect more than a handful of internal EU flights.

Who is warning of disruption?

Jean-Claude Juncker warns of disruption to flights in the event of a no deal Brexit

[BlasterBates]

I think the game plan is clear, the EU will allow most flights but not enough to prevent noticeable disruption and then propose that EU airlines step into the empty slots.

Project Fear.

More accurately brinkmanship by both EU and UK to stoke fear into feeble minds so that May's deal will be accepted, now it's May's deal or 'no deal' that is getting the limelight.

See also UK papers saying army will be mobilised. To do what exactly? It won't be military action, more likely akin to when they bail out the Firebrigade on strike, so to assist with civil duties that may be stretched due to all the government funding cuts.

Looks like it's going to be a dirty war if 'no deal' wins and brexit does mean brexit, the EU won't go away quietly. Good job no EU Army, yet.

EU plans to ground British flights to the EU for no deal

Jean-Claude Juncker warns of disruption to flights in the event of a no deal Brexit

Firstly, that’s from October so predates today’s interim announcement.

Secondly, read the actual text from the EU line by line. It starts off by saying that leaving without a Withdrawal Agreement would cause interruption, and then goes on to say that interim measures would be put into place to counter that interruption. Nowhere in the text does it say disruption would continue (at least, for the next 9 months)

It all hangs on reciprocity, so it is now up to the U.K. to confirm that similar arrangements will be put into place here.

Apart from that, it’s really not that big of a deal.

The text says "certain flights" and no that doesn't mean just no internal flights, otherwise it would have said that.

Brexit: EU reveals no-deal plans - BBC News

Flights from the UK into and overflying the EU to be allowed for 12 months to ensure "basic connectivity"

Basic connectivity isn't business as usual, particularly in light of their comment

These measures will not - and cannot - mitigate the overall impact of a 'no-deal' scenario,

Of course they will decide at their own discretion but the text they've published makes it clear that they are not simply allowing all flights to the EU only "certain flights".

[NotAllThere]

Not a problem, if there are not enough flights, you can simply queue up at Dover.

Or hail a passing unicorn.

Err, EU can prevent any aircraft from flying into EU airspace!

Yeah? Them and whose army?

Project Fear.

More accurately brinkmanship by both EU and UK to stoke fear into feeble minds so that May's deal will be accepted,

So it's Project Fear when:
1. Remainers explain to Brexiters why leaving the EU will, overall, be a bad thing and may even cause severe disruption and economic woes
2. Brexiters and Remainers explain to May supporters that her deal will leave us with all the duties of being an EU member, without any benefits
3. Brexiters explain to Remainers that the EU is about to collapse, and we need to get out before it does
4. May supporters use 1 and 3 to garner support for there ideas.

Did I miss any?
