More than 30 parliamentarians attended the campaign event held by the A Fair Tax on Flying campaign, as members labelled APD as a “tax on trade”.
Dale Keller, chief executive of the Board of Airline Representatives UK and spokesperson for the campaign said: “This was a very significant level of political engagement and an important part of our overall campaign strategy.
“We were able to put across to many influential MPs our message that APD should be seen for what it is – a ‘Tax on Trade’.
