Several of the UK’s most well known holiday and airline flight providers who themselves are aiming charge their customers a gasoline surcharge to beat escalating energy charges have accepted with open arms the most recent media headline from the Chancellor which has revealed a flight duty freeze within the impending budget.
Thomson and Thomas Cook, a couple of of the UK’s most significant travel firms are intending to add a charge on to each of their customers journeys to help cover the higher fuel charges they are facing. This cost per person may be between £15 and £40, with many vacations in Greece and Spain to be struck by a £25 surcharge.
This has been incredibly concerning news for an international holiday marketplace that is currently witnessing lower traveller volumes. The raise was deemed a final attempt to secure income although in wider business circles it was considered a strategy that could put countless English households off reserving international holidays this coming year.
The earthquake in Asia and unrest in Libya has resulted in even more conjecture around the power sector and gasoline costs are volatile and likely to increase even further. It has not yet been identified if these travel firms might have to enhance rates even further to pass this cost to their customers.
With the latest budget days away the Chancellor George Osbourne has finally given the travel market a lifeline by suggesting that APD (air passenger duty) will likely be held at the same level for the foreseeable future. This is news that has been accepted with open arms by both vacation firms operating in the UK and cash strapped travellers.
A spokesman for consumer offer website Mega.co.uk, said “this a a welcome relief for the holiday market. We believe that an increase in duty on top of the planned surcharge levied by the UK's top two holiday firms could have depressed the overseas travel market to a level that would have cost many jobs both in the UK and overseas.”
Finally good news in a bad couple of weeks for the United Kingdom travel industry.
