More likely it's under wraps because it has not passed all Swiss approving authorities yet << If the relevant parliamentary committees, which will be consulted early next year, approve the agreement, it could be signed and be applied from the date on which the UK leaves the EU.>> admin.ch, last sentence.
Should it not happen, I suspect those informed by theLocal will shout "Switzerland has lied to us". |

So Swiss might become competitive? |

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | Sloppy job by the theLocal. | | | | | The article is actually a fair representation of the information alluded to by the British Ambassador last week. Apparently, Switzerland has been very proactive in having plans 'ready to go' as soon as the deal between the EU and UK is resolved. As a result of speaking to the Ambassador, and hearing her answer the questions of others, I feel a lot more secure living here than in any of the EU countries for the moment. Unfortunately, the drama in Westminster continues to trundle on, and pantomime season is upon us, so I don't expect any let up just yet.

One kicker, the UK will need to have a safety authorisation issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 452/2014.
Presumably that possibly means some involvement by the European Court of Justice to settle any disagreements! |

They are goverened by the International Air Services Transit Agreement made at Chicago 7 December 1944. This agreement gives reciprocal 1st and 2nd (stop for refueling) rights to all signatories. All EU/EEA Member States including UK and Switzerland are signatories.
Any country can denounce the agreement, but not for individual countries. You are either in or out of the agreement, you cannot be in the agreement, except for the UK for example. The EU, which has only observerstatus at ICAO cannot denounce the agreement.
And don’t forget British Airways in not British. It is Spanish.
If France, for example, denounced the agreement they would lose their overflight rights over practically every other country, causing them endless headaches.

Airlines have to apply for overfly permits and the countries are able to set the prices for these.
Under the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation all contracting states permit overflight by other states, but for most national aviation authorities, prior approval is required in the form of an overflight permit.
The charges normally payable would be the Route Navigation Facility Charges or RNFC for overflights
The procedure for issuance of these permits also varies from country to country.
As I already posted for overflying the EU and/or landing in Switzerland the UK will need to have a safety authorisation issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 452/2014.
In the case of flights between Switzerland and non EU countries I already posted the link. Applications for permits must be submitted not later than thirty days before the initial flight.
