Mr Alderslade continued: "We also call on the Government to prioritise all aviation-related negotiations, agreements, and decisions during the EU withdrawal process" adding: "Given our status as an island trading nation, and with excellent international air links and travel now being even more vital for our future prosperity and economic growth, the environment for aviation post-Brexit must be clarified as soon as possible".[more - original PR]
