Ryanair Calls on Gordon Brown to Repeal "Visitor Tax"
Dec 15, 2008
Ryanair, the UK’s largest discount passenger airline, renewed its call today on Gordon Brown and his Government to repeal the unfair and regressive £10 visitor tax which it cites as having caused a steep decline in air passengers travelling to/from the UK’s major airports since its introduction.
The BAA airport monopoly released November traffic figures confirming that passengers at the 7 main UK airports fell by 9% from 10.8m to 9.8m – the largest monthly decline since the New York terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Ryanair confirmed that there can be no doubt that the British economy and British tourism industry is losing visitors to other European countries who welcome visitors, not tax them.
