Scottish referendum: ?Yes? vote would end APD in Scotland
Interesting comments from contributor at end of article:
"Newcastle view on APD
Newcastle Airport has benefited for as long as I can remember from passengers travelling down from Scotland to take advantage of lower flight costs ex Newcastle. Didn't hear NCL complain then"
Well !
I know of at least 4 families who have travelled up to Edinburgh this summer to avoid higher fares from Newcastle. One family of four saved over £350 on flights to Turkey (Bodrum) - Fares ex Edinburgh can be cheaper without change in APD
