Ryanair
Ryanair will "freeze growth" at its nine UK bases "with immediate effect" in response to a drop of 4.5 million passengers at BAA's seven UK airports through the year's first five months. The LCC blamed both the airports operator and the country's [pounds sterling]10 (USD 16.43) air passenger duty for the decline. "While the UK keeps taxing tourists, Ryanair will switch its growth to other EU countries where low-cost airports are growing and where governments are welcoming tourists, not taxing them," CEO Michael O'Leary said.
