This is Bristol | Fears tax change may drive flyers to Cardiff
Bristol Airport management says that moves to hand control of air passenger duty to the Wales Assembly Government could have a 'devastating effect' on business at BRS.
Devolution of air passenger duty was recommended by the Calman Commission on Scottish devolution, which formed the basis of the Scotland Bill currently going through Parliament.
A UK Treasury spokesman was quoted: "No final decisions have been taken. We're looking at consultation responses and will publish our response in the autumn. Devolution could have potentially wide-ranging effects which is why it is important that we gain a full understanding of impacts before any final decisions are taken."
I suppose the two English airports that would be most affected are Bristol and Newcastle.
