Brexit Continues To Impact UK Aviation Skills Shortage
High-level political tension between the UK and the European Union has blocked agreements on the movement of skilled aviation labor across borders.

The UK aviation industry’s skills shortage continues to be exacerbated by a failure to reach an agreement on the movement of labor across borders following the country’s departure from the European Union (EU). Marc Bailey, chief executive of the British Business & General Aviation Association (BBGA), told the group’s conference today that high-level political obstacles continue to mean that UK companies have restricted access to pilots and maintenance professionals from other European countries.
