Abta’s Aviation Forum on Tuesday (25 April) heard how Abta members were broadly in favour of the proposals, while the airline sector was opposed.
Rachel Jordan, Abta director of financial protection and membership, said: “There seems to be a preferred route of segregation for businesses. Some are delighted, but a lot of members do not [currently] segregate at all.”
But Simon McNamara, Iata UK and Ireland country manager, said: “We are against it, particularly when tickets are issued and particularly when issued to BSP. Iata is not a bank.”
