Any good route news for winter 2011. ANy airline that pulls out over the winter should be forced to repay any of the subsides they got to start the routes in the first place and i would say that based on the total lack of commitment from the airlines at leats that the travel tax will be back on again in the Dec budget.
The Travel Tax of €3 per departing passenger still remains, it is due to be removed in Budget 2012 (first Wednesday of December). the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport - Leo Varadkar has said it wont be removed as the MoT are still reviewing proposals by Aer Arann, Aer Lingus, CityJet and of course Ryanair, they're set to announce there reviews of the proposals before the Summer schedule is out, he also wants to see what the full Winter schedules are like before he pulls the ATT in December.
