Should Airlines Follow The Congestion Pricing Model?
The UK government is considering charging airlines extra for flying in gridlocked skies instead of expanding airports.
"Airlines would be forced to pay more for taking off and landing at peak times in an auction of "slots" under plans being put forward by New Labour's favourite think-tank... The cash raised would go to fund better highspeed rail links to discourage people from flying short-distance while fare increases would cut the number of leisure flights by discouraging budget travellers."
