Dutch flight tax axed Easyjet has welcomed a decision by the Dutch government to axe its flights tax – a version of the UK’s Air Passenger Duty. The budget airline’s chief executive Andy Harrison said: “The Dutch Government has done the right thing to ensure that aviation has a future in The Netherlands. “But even after the tax is abolished, Schiphol will be Europe’s second most expensive airport – more expensive than Paris, Frankfurt or Zurich.” He added: “The Dutch government has put the ball on the penalty spot; Schiphol must now convert the penalty and bring its cost in line with other major airports in Europe. “Only if both conditions are met will airlines start investing in The Netherlands again.” (travelmole.com, March 25, 2009) BACK TO LATEST NEWS |
