I very much doubt that Brexit will cause anything approaching choas 
insofar as airlines are concerned. Currently all international flights 
are governed by the Montreal Convention which was signed by the 
individual states of the EU and not the EU itself, and the ICAO which is 
a UN function. They will remain in force regardless of the UK's status 
vis-a-vis Brexit. There may be the additional annoyance of EU folks 
having to pass through passport control depending on the final 
disposition of Brexit, but that's probably it.

Chaos is a persuasion word that has zero measurable technical meaning, 
it's purpose is to allow your mind to fill it's space with your worst 
nightmares. Whenever I see it in the news I assume that the writer is 
ideologically opposed to whatever event the writer is describing and 
lacks any evidence to back up their claims.

Airlines have had years to prepare for Brexit, and humans are generally 
pretty good at avoiding disasters that they've know about for years. My 
guess is that on Brexit day you won't even notice, save having to pass 
through an automated passport kiosk.
