Airport Lunacy - Not a good example
I was shocked to read this morning about the British Mediterranean Airways (BMed) technique for holding their London Heathrow slot.
Basically BMed have been operating round-trip flights between Heathrow and Cardiff International six days a week since October! Unbelievable.
In a country (well world) trying to combat climate change and reduce emissions it seems to me to be totally outrageous that this is happening. They have said that it was a way of protecting their highly sought-after landing slots at Heathrow, which have been known to fetch up to £10m each.
It does mean however that more than five tonnes of C02 has been pumped into the atmosphere on each 140-mile journey.
Absolute madness. It makes a mockery of the proposals that the government are looking at with the air tax.
Why not contact them and tell them what you think!! http://www.flybmed.com
