Aviation industry lobby group disbanded
11.04.11
Aviation lobbying group Flying Matters is to disband after four key members - British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Heathrow operator BAA and the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) - withdrew their support, Travel Weekly reports. Flying Matters director Michelle di Leo confirmed the group, established in 2007, would break up this month.
The companies have left to set up a new campaign group with a narrower focus, restricted to the economic benefits of aviation. It is reported that the success of the Fair Tax on Flying campaign initiated by ABTA was a spur to the break up, although Flying Matters members had been considering the group’s future since the coalition government scrapped plans for a third runway at Heathrow last year.
