Brexiteers like @Nigel_Farage promised Brexit would make food and clothing cheaper, but they lied. Brexit is causing higher prices for British consumers.
Brexit means British airlines have to fly planes to the United States for slower and more expensive repairs instead of Europe.
Cargo airline One Air, which operates out of the East Midlands importing electronic goods, has two Boeing 747s, which need one basic check every three months and a detailed check every two years.
One Air said a straightforward maintenance check in Germany would take a week and cost about £164,000. In the US, it takes a fortnight and costs £203,000.
Detailed maintenance takes 27 days turnaround at a cost of £1.25 million at a German facility. In the US, it takes 41 days at a cost of £1.7 million.
One Air’s chief operating officer, said: “It creates a bigger running cost that effectively gets passed through to the consumer as an extra cost burden that we see as potentially unnecessary.”
He added that costs were driven up because components for the planes also had to be UK-approved, and were sourced from the US as a result.

Greece is now growing fast, its institutions endured and has become a leading voice in the EU.
Astonishing.
