Travel industry unswayed by ‘big names’ opposing Brexit

Saturday, 29 Feb, 2016 0

Travel bosses backing the campaign to stay in Europe have failed to persuade the travel industry to follow them.

Last week, some of the biggest names in travel supported a letter calling for Britain to remain part of the European Union.

Peter Long, chairman of TUI’s Supervisory Board, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary, easyJet chief executive Carolyn McCall, Air Asia chief Tony Fernandes and lastminute.com co-founder Martha Lane Fox, plus the chiefs of Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Airports Group, all signed the letter.

A TravelMole poll asked ‘Big name in travel sign letter against Brexit. Will this influence the way you vote on June 23?’

More than two thirds of you, 69.08%, said no while 30.92% said yes.
