But the owner of British Airways said the CAA lacked world-class knowledge and could not be ready in time.
Mr Shapps told Aviation Week much of the Cologne-based European Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) expertise came from the UK and that a lot of its leaders were British.
He said the agency's powers would revert to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) "and the expertise will need to come home to do that, but we'll do it in a gradual way".
Well this is good news. Shows this government isn't messing about when it comes to independence.
Remainers are kicking off on Twitter, not understanding that staying in the EASA would mean allowing ECJ supremacy over British law as well as having no say in the EASA. So, like nearly every other country in the world, we'll do it ourselves. It isn't rocket science.
