The CAA spent £2.7 million on Brexit preparations in 2018/19 and expects to spend up to £1.6 million during 2019/20. It has recruited around 50 additional FTEs in preparation for Brexit. The UK is seeking continued close cooperative arrangements with the EU on aviation safety as part of an ambitious and comprehensive future relationship after exit. This will help minimise regulatory burdens for UK and EU industry and maintain safety standards across Europe.
