Flight Tax is still a threat...
Flight tax is still a threat to air routes says Sammy Wilson - Northern Ireland, Local & National - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk
Sammy Wilson said he had spoken to airline chiefs yesterday who “made it clear that they are considering pulling a number of European and UK flights out of Northern Ireland as the impact of this tax bites into profits and sales of seats”.
The prospect of new routes would seem pretty low if airlines are considering pulling what they have already in place.
Should domestic be pulled, I wonder what are the weakest routes?? EI have confirmed an LHR reduction for next year, there also seems to be a lot of speculation regarding LS LBA route and would seem BFS have lost TLS. BE have already announced the termination of LPL, DSA and MSE also.
