The U.S. Trade War with Bombardier

NORTH CAROLINA JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: Moreover, this ruling is also likely to negatively affect everyday consumers. “Such a high tariff will raise the cost of importing jets from the Montreal-based firm and deprive American consumers of the opportunity of efficient, low-cost travel.”

UK’s hiking of air passenger taxes will hurt Britain’s investors and holiday-goers

London, UK – As revealed this week, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond has asked the U.K. Treasury to increase once again the air passenger duty for premium travellers.

Ryan Khurana, Policy Analyst at the Consumer Choice Center (CCC) says the UK government’s hiking of the Air Passenger Duty would hurt Britain’s investment prospects and holiday-goers.

“In the midst of Brexit, the decision to raise the Airline Taxes in the UK, thereby disincentivising travel for business and pleasure, and restricting consumer choice is a disastrous move.

“Penalising long-haul flights will discourage investors and entrepreneurs from seeing the UK as an open place to do business. This hurts not only them, but also native Britons who are restricted from the benefits of increased choice in global destinations,” said Khurana.
