BBC Radio 4 'Today' programme reporting that the govt is looking at abolishing APD for all domestic routes - as well as helping BE, helps their 'regional connectivity' agenda. Nice windfall for BA, etc..
If true so much for trying to reduce UK air travel and helping to reduce pollution not that I ever liked the tax but it did serve a purpose in reducing demand. This if proposed as a Flybe only deal would be banned by the EU although I would just tell the EU to get stuffed as we are leaving anyway so get over it.
