Trade urged to sign new APD petition
Agents, operators and others in the industry are being urged to sign an online petition against the Government's plans to more than double Air Passenger Duty next year.
The petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/APDIncrease/ already has 1,519 signatures.
The deadline for signatures is April 27, but ABTA is urging its members to sign it as soon as possible.
