Air Passenger Rights in the UK Post-Brexit: The Position so Far

Abstract

This article summarizes air passenger rights in the UK post-Brexit, the status of European Union (EU) law that has been retained by the UK and how it is to be interpreted. It concludes that in practical terms there is little material change to date. Further, divergence is unlikely due to a combination of the statutory scheme adopted by the UK in respect of the implementation of Brexit and the terms of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) made with the EU – unless and until the EU departs significantly from what its law provided as at Brexit in relation to air passenger rights.
