Latest airline tax rip-off
Until today's proposals the Tories seemed to be the most aviation friendly UK political party. Unfortunately they appear to have jumped on the airline-bashing bandwagon. In particular there's a demand for tax on fuel on shorthaul flights. That seems pretty unfair as our main competitor, railways, don't pay tax on fuel -or any other tax as they in fact get an overall handout of several billion ££'s every year.
