Liverpool Airport owner’s budget response
22.03.12
Peel Airports, owners of Liverpool Airport and Robin Hood Airport, believe that the Government turned its back on an industry that has the ability to help kick-start regional and national economies by further increasing the damaging Air Passenger Duty (APD) in its budget yesterday.
Craig Richmond, CEO of Peel Airports Limited said: ‘It never ceases to amaze me that a Government that ‘talks the talk’ about a budget that backs business, can at the same time fail to ‘walk the walk’ by then doing the opposite.'
'We should be talking about scrapping APD completely if we want any chance of helping the aviation industry to generate improvements to the economy through more jobs, more investment and more visitors to the UK, yet here we are facing increases both this year and next. Our European competitors will undoubtedly be celebrating.’
