Not the 300m tax take. No Sirree.

No effort to reform and reward those carriers who have more efficient fleets or fly shorter routes.

Virgin Connect who bought FlyBE will find it harder to make money flying in Britain now.

Norwegian will keep their planes in Dublin, not Edinburgh.

I consider it a shortsighted move but then again I'm not receiving the 300M pounds of income.
