Re APD.. BHX have been lobbying and attended the meetings with the bosses of LPL so its a joint thing,think MAN did as well.
Don't think it would benefit the likes of LPL,EMA as much as the Govt are trying to get full fare airlines to switch from LHR ,and LPL EMA get mostly low cost airlines,and expect that would continue.
