The government is to reduce domestic passenger duty rates to boost the aviation industry after the pandemic.
This clearly shows that the government puts the economy before the future of the human species. Again.

Re: Airlines in trouble
That will bugger up all the projections for HS2 as well. Not many people are going to take the train when they can get a cheap fight. Or will they put the flight duty up again as HS2 comes on line?

Re: Airlines in trouble
Not just HS2, but rail in general.
Plenty of cheap petrol, and if it is to far to drive, cheaper domestic flights also.
Climate emergency is now very last year.

There has been a scheme announced today in Australia to offer half price flights around Australia to stimulate the Australia tourist sector. The taxpayer will pick up the bill.

Re: Airlines in trouble
British airways cancel all short haul flights from Heathrow, "due to IT issues".

Dont know if it is a "normal" IT failure or perhaps a Russian cyber attack.

Re: Airlines in trouble
Looks like a normal IT failure, probably due to downsizing/outsourcing/rightsizing/offshoring and not related to the war.
