Given the continued uncertainty in the UK surrounding the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement, the European Commission has started implementing its ''no deal'' Contingency Action Plan. The package plan includes 14 measures in a limited number of areas where a ''no deal'' scenario would create major disruption for citizens and businesses in the EU27. These areas include financial services, air transport, customs, and climate policy, amongst others.

As for transport, the commission has adopted the following two measures that will avoid full interruption of air traffic between the EU and the UK in the event of no deal. These measures will only ensure basic connectivity and in no means replicate the significant advantages of membership of the Single European Sky. This is subject to the UK conferring equivalent rights to EU air carriers, as well as the UK ensuring conditions of fair competition.

- A proposal for a Regulation to ensure temporarily (for 12 months) the provision of certain air services between the UK and the EU.
-A proposal for a Regulation to extend temporarily (for 9 months) the validity of certain aviation safety licenses.

The commission has also adopted a proposal for a Regulation to allow UK operators to temporarily (nine months) carry goods into the EU, provided the UK confers equivalent rights to EU road haulage operators and subject to fair competition conditions.
