Wow.
Yes. I'm not saying it is likely just that it is possible. The current UK and EU positions are incompatible and there are significant parts of Brexit that seem unresolvable at the moment (e.g. Irish border). So if air services form part of an overall deal which has to also resolve all the other things (and on the current timeline) then there may not be a deal and the air services agreements will fall with insufficient time to do something else.
