Gibraltar poses threat to post-Brexit aviation access as Spain signals it would block EU air access deal unless terms exclude Gibraltar airport

An interesting piece in the Financial Times tweeted by Gibraltar Chronicle editor Brian Reyes, is well worth a read if you have an interest in our piece of turf. To all Gibraltarians the headline;
“Gibraltar poses threat to post-Brexit aviation access as Spain signals it would block EU air access deal unless terms exclude Gibraltar airport” will probably provoke more yawns than anger as we have seen it all before. These headlines however especially in UK provoke a different response and in part serve to help Spain believe it really has a leading role in the EU, which considering its current financial situation along with others like Italy, greece, Ireland etc is, to be blunt, woefully wide of the mark. They need the EU and ultimately this kind of positioning only increases the UK’s ire towards what they percieve as the ultimate failure of the EU. It’s inability to actually make it’s member states accept the rule of international law.
