Thompsonfly have stated that they will resist any calls for an environment tax as the public will not tolerate another hike in fairs. If this happens then the carrier will be forced to shell out millions, which obviously they aren’t happy about the prospect of doing. Thompson say that as they carry 4 million passengers they could potentially have to pay out £4 million if their passengers refused to pay even £1 extra per flight.
Thompsonfly does stress however that the airline does support sustainable aviation and was making strides towards reducing emissions. This is a scheme that Tom Morton, director of Climate Care is in support of as he has predicted a tax "across the board" would have little or no impact to the environment, as “The demand for aviation would still be there".
