Interesting report from the Commons Select Committee dated 13th March. Highlighting in particular the APD issue for NI, sharing a border.
Quote from BIA:
In confidential talks we have had with a number of prospective carriers, they have indicated that APD is preventing them from making favourable decisions which, when added up, would amount to an additional 3 million passengers
House of Commons - 9th Report - Smaller airports - Transport
Good to see the issue finally being discussed at the appropriate levels.
