EasyJet wants aviation tax rethink
18 September 2007EasyJet is stepping up calls to scrap aviation tax in its present form by launching a campaign to encourage politicians to “‘adopt a more intelligent approach to air travel'”. It claims that its plans will also reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change.
The low-cost carrier is launching an advertising push today (September 18) to inform consumers of its new tax proposal, which suggests that Air Passenger Duty (APD) should be replaced with a tax based on aircraft types and the distance travelled.
