Chancellor must reverse ill-considered decision on airside retail

Chair of the Future of Aviation Group Henry Smith MP has today backed calls for the Chancellor to reverse plans to end tax free sales at UK airports by saying:

"Aviation is vital to our long-term national economic recovery and we should be doing everything to support our world class aviation industry and measures like this will only delay and threaten that recovery.

“The Chancellor must reverse this ill-considered decision in order to support our beleaguered airports and to protect the jobs, businesses and communities that depend on a thriving aviation sector.”
