UK airlines launch manifesto
UK airlines have launched their manifesto for the new Parliament.
Published by the British Air Transport Association (BATA), the ‘Ready for take-off’report outlines the contribution made by the industry.
But it also calls for action on APD, airport capacity, sustainability, border and visas and reforming European law to clarify consumer rights.
Nathan Stower, chief executive of BATA, said: “This is the first time that BATA has produced a manifesto setting out our priorities for the next Parliament.
“We will be using the document to campaign for policy changes and lobby politicians, officials, the regulator and other stakeholders in the months ahead on behalf of our members.
“The next five years are crucial for the UK industry and we will be working hard to influence public policy so that it enables our members to deliver even more for their passengers and the country in the future.”
