They are, if it means more profits for their (US-based) airlines, while
freezing out all but a couple of European-based airlines from the
routes.


Eh

US based airlines only exist in the US, there is about 170 countries
outside the EU that will want flights to the UK


The single busiest route is Heathrow-New York, and then there's all the
other US hubs.


I really don't understand why it is that you are introducing pointless, but
commonly know, facts into a discussion on us leaving the EU *forcing* fares
up.

What relevance has his tiny point to your original premise?

I really can't see it

please show your working?

I can just see that EU "interference" in the market might make flying
intra-EU fares cheaper [1] (I don't buy it, but it might), but what possible
effect can any EU meddling have on flights between two non-EU countries?

tim

[1] If anything the requirement for paying delay/cancelation compensation
will make it more expensive. (FTAOD I think those compensation requirements
are a good thing)
