Commenting on the outcome of the result of the EU referendum held in the UK on 23 June 2016, Professor Chris Atkin, President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, said: ‘Recognising the concerns of many in our community about the effects of the
changed UK/EU relationship, the Royal Aeronautical Society would encourage all parties to work to preserve the excellent collaboration that exists between the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe in the aerospace and aviation industry. The Society stands ready to advise those making choices over the coming months that will have an impact on this important economic sector.’
