Air Passenger Duty: ‘Stinging us for everything we’ve got’

KINGSTON, Jamaica - IT IS automatically added to every flight out of the UK, but when The Voice spoke to Caribbean-bound travellers at Gatwick Airport, some had never even heard of air passenger duty (APD).
The travel tax has been rising year-on-year making billions in revenues for the government, but pricing out ordinary people from travelling to the tropical region.
As a result, fewer people are able to visit destinations like Jamaica, Barbados and St Lucia to visit friends or relatives without paying excessively as a result of the tax that is added to the cost of airline tickets.
