O’Leary demands action from chancellor
Accountancy Age, 11 Jan 2007
Recently announced increases in airline taxes aimed at helping reduce greenhouse gases should be repealed, according to Michael O'Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair.
Speaking at a press conference in London, O'Leary said greenhouse gases were not the real reason and demanded an explanation from the Treasury about how it plans to use the extra £1bn in revenue that will be raised.
‘Gordon Brown won't spend any of this money on the environment. He is just using the environment to steal more taxes from ordinary passengers,’ O’Leary claimed.
