Govt urged to 'consider cost of flying' |
|
|
|
|
 Following the government's announcement yesterday that air passenger duty (APD) rises will go ahead later this year, The Co-operative Travel is urging chancellor Alistair Darling to amend his proposals.
Speaking after the Budget, Mike Greenacre, managing director of the company, said: "It is scandalous that APD has gone from zero to its existing level in such a short period of time."
It would be fairer is passengers were charged in relation to their carbon footprint, rather than paying a flat rate of APD, he added.
Mr Greenacre is calling on the government to use any revenue raised through this to help the industry create more efficient engines and lighter airframes.
