Aviation White Paper Disaster - Government assumptions set to waste billions

The government's aviation white paper contains a key forecast that air travel will double by 2030. This forecast is the key justification for a whole raft of airport expansion projects across our country with costs running into billions.

The issue is that the forecast is based on flights getting cheaper, GDP growth averaging 2.25% both unlikely and the real clanger, that oil price will stabilise at $25!!!
