Baltic Air Charter Association Issues Strong Statement Against New Charges - The Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA) and its members are calling for an immediate review of today’s decision by the Civil Aviation Association (CAA) to permit higher landing charges at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. BACA is asking the government to quickly hold consultation meetings with all the interested parties, so that a solution can be found, which will not be detrimental to the English air industries. According to Markham Jackson, Chairman and chief spokesperson for BACA, “After this morning’s news I have been receiving a multitude of calls from members complaining that these charges at Heathrow and Gatwick will result in disproportionate fare increases for the passengers and customers using these airports. We feel that there should now be urgent consultation between all interested parties to discuss this current situation. Any increases or charges should be thoroughly shelved until the result of such discussions.
