Birmingham Airport has called on the Government to support the Midlands economy, by implementing four key policies:1. Implement a differential tax regime at airports with spare capacity
2. Implement a congestion charge at congested airports
If that were to work would that not be counter productive? Let's just go for a higher tax regime for airports who insist on having London before their real name.
3. Create and market a network of national airports
4. Unilaterally liberalise air service arrangements from this network of national airports.
Really the airports have little say , it's the airlines that call the shots , but i congratulate BHX for continuing to lobby for their slightly bigger piece of a large cake.
