So, the govt, having sat back whilst LHR and BA trashed regional connectivity it's now time to artificially put it back? I thought the Tories liked the open market? Anyone would think there was:
  • An election on
  • Their mates in the airlines want some dosh
The Tories love of the open market is very selective. Clearly when it comes to aviation, the market is hobbled by excessive APD, and the answer is always "no".
