Virgin Atlantic and BA to stop flights to Orlando from Sept 2012

[kevin harrison]

From the Orlando Sentinal.

Due to a dispute over new taxes payable to the owners of Orlando International, Miami and Sanford Airports, in a shock move Virgin Atlantic and British Airways have announced that they will no longer being flying into Orlando International airport as of September 2012.

Other major European Carriers are expected to follow suit very soon also. Sanford Airport and Miami Airport are expected to be hit very hard by this shock news also.

The airports have started to make redundancies in wake of this news.

Virgin spokesperson Lirpa Loof quoted "The tax rise will hit all major airlines very hard and make flights economically unjust. For this reason we have decided to no longer fly into the sunshine state"
