Wider proposals to improve regional connectivity across the UK were set out by prime minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday (10 March).
An interim "union connectivity review", led by former Network Rail chair Sir Peter Hendy, highlighted a review of domestic APD as being one key area of interest to stakeholders.
APD is charged on flights originating from the UK, hence return domestic flights are subject to APD on both the outbound and inbound leg of people’s journeys. The rate will rise to £26 per return flight next month.
