The UK
controls all the airspace through which virtually all the air traffic from the
EU has to pass through to get to the USA.
UK Airspace is divided into three FIRs; London, Scottish and Shanwick
Oceanic. The London FIR covers England
and Wales. The Scottish FIR covers Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Shanwick
Oceanic FIR covers a region of airspace totalling 700,000 square miles over the
North East Atlantic.
Ireland is totally
surrounded by UK controlled airspace.
So, if the EU decided to break international
agreements or play a game of obstructing flights from the UK, they could find
themselves instantly excluded from UK controlled airspace.
Yet another scare story from the pro EU lobby
that want the thwart the democratic vote of the people of the UK.
