Four airlines from the UK and Irish Republic are calling for the UK government to scrap Air Passenger Duty.
The tax, which is applied to almost every ticket on a flight originating in the UK, has risen sharply since it was introduced in 1994.
When APD was introduced, passengers whose journey originated in the UK paid between £5 and £40 per ticket. They now have to pay from £24 to £170.
It is opposed by Easyjet, Ryanair, Virgin Atlantic and British Airways.

Many passengers would not have been aware of the delay notice. I feel that airlines should be compelled to list the compensation due, under the regulations, on the Delay Notice. And it should be a requirement for all airlines to be proactive in distributing Delay Notices to ALL passengers and not just those who have requested one. The Air Travel Advisory Bureau provide important advice and guidance on air travel, flight status, Air Passenger Duty, cheap tickets and air travel deals.
