I wonder how the vote will complicate business for Airbus. I know they existed before the formation of the EU and they will continue to exist after the split, but I image this situation will make things a bit more complicated for them when !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Also, it will be fascinating to see if the UK sticks with EASA as its regulatory authority or reverts fully to an independent org via the CAA.

I have to wonder if the supporters of leaving really thought their cunning plan all the way through. It's going to take at least as long to unravel Europe as it took to bundle it up in the first place.

Long term: The fear is that an increase in trade costs between the UK and EU countries can have long-term impacts on the cost of goods and currency strength of the UK, which will mean shifting some labor production to other countries. It is very unclear what the scenario looks like without knowing what kind of trade agreements will now be forged with the major trading partners (France, Germany, US, China).

Short term: Capital flight toward more stable currencies means that UK-based businesses and subsidiaries lose shareholder value, so they may be spun off, merged, or acquired by outside countries while the price is low, or be unable to leverage their value to make purchases or in vestment, derailing their current plans.

Likely scenario? No major change, but some small downsizing or shifting resources to other countries long term, and a rise in production costs / pricing short term.

Great shot of the A380. That’s a LOT of tires!
