The right decision. What is so special about airlines? Ferries, taxi's, coaches, Hotels, tour operators, caravan sites and on and on have all sen their businesses decimated by the travel ban, where do the bailouts end.
If it is the end of cheap flights then so be it, more people will holiday at home creating more employment in the UK leisure sector and improving our economy even further.
No more unnecessary flying just for the hell of it.
