Jamesair - no mention of 'that place' in my post except in the header. What happened was the Minister was discussing something of significance to NCL and then the conversation got dragged round to Transatlantic links....

BTW, he said:

“If you look at flights to Dubai you can see what can be done without Government funding. That successful route has been made without the need to use taxpayers’ money to subsidise it. I know that there has been some lobbying about, say, relaxing the air passenger duty here. The worry is that that could create a churn where the flights are only here until that subsidy goes. We have not been persuaded by the arguments so far. The Dubai flights are very well subscribed flights, the case can be made (to the operators) I think for flights into New Jersey or wherever in America.”
