Labour and other parties coming out against reducing/removing APD pointing out most of benefit will go to other airlines who don’t need and environmental case more important. Their line seems to be that vital routes should be subsidised - who ever flies them - and Flybe should be allowed to go to the wall if necessary with other airlines replacing them on those routes
To be fair, I suspect that the Labour MP for Exeter, Ben Bradshaw, has a different view. Hope I don't need to explain why.

The vast majority of journeys between London and Newquay will be holiday home owners who can easily afford the fare.
I call nonsense on that comment. The voxpops from Cornwall suggest very differently.
