I think the reason why the planes were serviced in the EU before was cost.
So the way I understand it is that if they’re serviced in the EU they’re not allowed to fly in the UK, and if serviced in the UK they can’t fly to the EU, because the UK let the mutual recognition of standards lapse as part of brexit. The US and the EU have this agreement, so that’s where the plane will have to be serviced.
There’s already a shortage of qualified technicians in the UK I’m told, so if anything this makes a shortage even worse.
So wouldn’t this means that planes would be cheapest serviced in Britain?
Thus leading to more british plane servicing jobs?

Someone will surely correct me if I’m wrong. ;)
