Members of the travel industry have been encouraged to make written submissions to the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) into the UK aviation’s international competitiveness.
The inquiry, which will be submitted on 16 May, will look into the impact of Air Passenger Duty, as well as the economic and environmental impacts of aviation.
“There is just a week to go before our inquiry stops taking evidence. We want to hear from the widest possible group of experts from within the aviation sector and beyond,” said Brian Donohue MP, chairman of the APPG on Aviation. “From airlines and airports, environmental groups, trade associations, think tanks, academics and individuals: I would encourage everyone with a view on how the UK can maintain our competitiveness in global aviation to get in touch and let us know your thoughts”.
APPG’s inquiry is backed by the ‘A Fair Tax on Flying’ campaign with responses to be submitted to aviationappg@mhpc.com. Submissions must be no longer than two pages and jargon free.
