How can you tell if a politician is lying? His lips are moving...
Interesting that the Minister forgets that the Governments own greed in levying a £10 service charge for each departing passenger also has a role to play in this. The charged was increased by over 42% from 01Apr....it used to be £7. This plus the 8% followed by a proposed 25% increase by the MOD is just ridiculous. The equivalent charge from AGP is just over £4.
I wonder what sort of deal the government is prepared to offer Stelios if any?
They seem to want to screw the airlines and by extension the passengers for everything they can get but I bet the Minister will bend over backwards to try and get EasyJet/Cruise in.
