It's the airline's fault for choosing Boeing. Countries of the EUSSR that run Boeing planes also have to do the same, nothing to do with EUSSR membership. Nothing to see here.

I wonder how other non-EU countries manage? They seem to.

Of course if you don’t own a freight company that has gone to the wall as a result of Brexit, or a similar company to this with massive costs as a result of Brexit – you might think Brexit is having little effect on you.

But these extra costs that all these companies are paying as a direct result of Brexit must be recouped from someone – and that someone is the UK population.

""You're not supposed to notice that, nor are you supposed to notice that there are so few interested in that particular model of 747, only 213 aircraft in operation worldwide out of a TOTAL of 434 when looking at all variants, as the aircraft is as good as at End of Life and is no longer in production. You're also not supposed to notice that they had to send two "services" to the US because that was their entire fleet. If they had done their homework, as the company was founded AFTER Brexit in 2021 with the first flight being July last year, they wouldn't be in this position. Their fault.""

Stolen from the comments section at the end of the article. Sign him up to AB now   ...    and get rid of the performance handwringers.

Seeing as how passenger 747s have been taken out of service did no one think that servicing the cargo fleet might be problematic. Boeing is having lots of maintenance problems, near misses and emergency landing/ diversions with many of its fleet in the US. Nothing to do with Brexit
