This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to reconsider its intention to more than double Airline Passenger Duty (APD) in 2010. More details
Submitted by Neil McCawley – Deadline to sign up by: 03 June 2010 – Signatures: 14,046
APD will increase by up to 112% in November 201.At a time when the airline industry is suffering this move will penalise holidaymakers at a time when disposable income is falling.
This Government has continually penalised the airline and holiday industry on the basis that they are doing it to help the environment, something any normal person will realise is not true. APD already raises £2 billion annually, and is obvious to anyone that the Governement is not using this money to help the environment but instead sees the airlines in the same way as they see motorists, i.e. another opportunity to tax the british public
