Aviation: Crew

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 5 June 2026 to Question 3885 on Aviation: Crew, whether mutual recognition of UK pilot licences forms part of the Government's discussions with the EU on strengthening the UK-EU relationship.

Answer

The Government has reset our relations with European partners in order to improve our economic and security cooperation following Brexit. We are committed to a constructive, and forward-looking relationship with the EU on aviation safety, including seeking closer cooperation with the EU on pilot licensing, where possible.

The Government continues to work constructively to identify opportunities for pragmatic improvements in these areas, including through the UK-EU Specialised Committees.
