How many more airlines are going to follow this trend whilst the punitive taxes in the UK rise and rise to cover the Governments mishandling of the economy and their failed social engineering.

BALPA has shown the 80% of the population will take a long haul flight from AMS rather than from the UK due to APD and taxes but still GB refuses to see it.

Time will tell when there is a change in No. 10 but history has taught us that in our two pony race for Downing street little changes after the policies have gone through the Labour bloated behemoth known as Whitehall.

I think this is an open, honest and shrewd move by EasyJet as the travelling public will now want to know why their travel is being disrupted and will start asking questions of the airport operators instead of the carriers.

Hopefully the crews will be relocated if they wish.
