NI has a reasonable argument for reduced APD. We don't need to justify that to Dublin
Thats true but some people on here think ROI should not have reduced travel tax just because the North does and they should be made put it back by London.
People using the bail out loan as an excuse when it has nothing to do with it. The main reason UK gave it was because the ROi supports the NI ecomney and likewise the other way round.
You seem quite annoyed that "people in NI pick and chose
They have a point. You didn't see ROI going to London to make NI have the same VAT as ROI when many people were going up North to shop. Even though they weren't happy about the VAT rate.
If the tax goes airlines are not going to add routes of reduce prices. Airlines have no problems adding sun routes and paying the tax. The only real benefit will be the airlines and not he ecomney.
I do accept the charge needs to go for CO which NI needs the route and that will be the only real benefit.
Look at it this way Easyjet have no problem adding BFS, GLA and EDI from SEN but on the other had they are saying the tax is damaging them. That is them being hypocritical. So why add routes if the tax is so damaging to domestic flights.
Can anybody justify that?
