The U.K. government’s possible shift to a softer position on Brexit that would prioritize the economy over immigration curbs has failed to assuage concerns at Ryanair Holdings Plc and EasyJet Plc about the impact of the split from the European Union.

Europe’s top budget airlines called on politicians to make aviation a key focus when formal Brexit talks start next week.

As things stand, Britain will exit an accord granting EU carriers free movement across the bloc, forcing the industry to fall back on restrictive bilateral deals and potentially grounding flights, Ryanair warned, even if both carriers labelled as “positive” a potential change in Prime Minister Theresa May’s stance after losing her parliamentary majority.
