Tudor Court Hotel News Section

The coalition government’s plan to ban airport expansion has met with criticism from the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).

Mark Tanzer, CEO, ABTA, said that the government needs to reflect on the overall capacity needs of the UK, before it arrives at a final decision on individual airports. He asserted that vetoing any airport expansion would only harm the UK PLC severely, without adding any considerable environmental advantages.

Welcoming the government’s plans to adopt a per plane tax, an important clause in the ABTA proposal, Tanzer stated that the association had always believed in an impartial taxation system that was more in sync with aircraft efficiency. Tanzer also said that the tax should be discontinued once the EU Emission’s Trading Scheme comes into effect in 2012.

The association plans to meet up with the new transport minister Philip Hammond and the other newly inducted government officials, with an intention of working closely with the bureaucracy to address the expectations of the travel industry.
