Britain buckles up for Brexit; first stop - Heathrow

London

BRITAIN'S strategy for boosting the aviation sector will seek to enhance international connectivity as the United Kingdom quits the European Union (EU), tighten noise and pollution curbs, tap new anti-terrorist technologies and improve the travel experience with everything from personal baggage collection to smoother border controls.

The plan would also seek to safeguard Britain's aerospace manufacturing base, advance the development of a homegrown space industry and encourage new developments such as drones and personal "flying taxis" while maintaining a rigorous regulatory regime, according to a call for evidence issued by the Department for Transport (DOT) on Friday.
