Yet another money printing manoeuvre. Rather than include the OFT rules in the said admin fee, as it should be, they add yet another charge and will blame it on the government as it is outside their control. Economical with the truth
PR. If it is so easy to add bits here and there to increase profit why can €0.50c not be added to give crews their first (decent) pay rise in 5 years? That would cost 10% of an annual profit, but could easily be funded by such a charge. Think how much the €2 volcano charge has made since inception a few years ago; with nothing paid out. €150m per year pumped into profit, but crew T's & C's reduce. Disgrace. With 75m pax each year they can just print money at will to fill their own pockets. Staggering.
