Sabre has joined the A Fair Tax on Flying campaign calling for a reform into Air Passenger Duty (APD).
The company is the first technology firm to back the lobbying campaign, which has also received support from airlines, tourism associations and business groups.
“The constant rises in this stealth tax are harming airlines, leisure and business travellers, and the UK economy as a whole. The exorbitant levels of APD – higher here than in any other country in the world – are making the UK uncompetitive, and have created a barrier for businesses that rely on international travel to conduct their affairs,” said Sabre’s commercial director UK & Ireland Elisabeth Martins.
“The current system must be reformed if businesses are to be allowed to grow and expand in the current challenging economic climate,” she added.
Martins encouraged more businesses affected by APD to join the campaign.
