May 07, 2018 (newstodate): The Swedish/UK cargo ACMI operator West Atlantic is keeping a vigilant eye on the British EU exit and its ramifications for the aviation industry.
The carrier considers national mail organizations, such as Royal Mail, Norwegian Mail, La Poste and PostNord among its core business segments and started work under a five-year contract with Royal Mail in January 2017.
The network for Royal Mail now comprises the operation of nine Boeing
737 aircraft and three British Aerospace ATP Aircraft.
-Great Britains forthcoming exit from EU, Brexit, with a potential forced reduction of the flights within EU, could directly affect the subsidiary in the UK, West Atlantic UK Ltd, West Atlantic states in its 2017 annual report.
-However since the Group has two AOCs, one in Sweden and one in UK, the total effect should be minor since the Group can move aircraft between the two AOCs and by that, go harmless out of this.
-Any other risks with Brexit can not be foreseen at the moment, the company states.
