LETTER OF THE
WEEK
EDITORIAL@ TRAVEL WEEKLY.
CO.UK
Shame on EasyJet for jumping gun
Story: EasyJet move of legal base from UK ‘almost inevitable’ What disloyalty to all those UK staff that have made this company what it is today. Why does she [easyJet chief executive Carolyn McCall, pictured] not wait until she has spoken to the government regarding post-Brexit policies, laws and regulations? How does she know that easyJet will not secure a better deal after the negotiations are complete? Shame on her for jumping the gun at such an early stage. Carolyn, think about your loyal staff who ensure that you are able to take home that nice hefty pay packet. LIAM STEWART Travel Weekly welcomes a response from easyJet
Mercury response: Deal was for our direct clients
Letter: Mercury’s price rose by £98 with just one click We tracked the email offer concerned back to when it was circulated and found that the hotel offered was a promotion specifically put together for our direct customers email database. The agent had obviously enrolled into this to receive our direct customer offers as this particular promotion was not available through our travel agents.

Airport expansion plans grounded by fall in flying
GROUP
Story: UK air travel ‘to fall by up to 5% by 2020’ due to Brexit Leaving the EU will increase staycations to help UK tourism, balance of payments, the UK economy and the environment. The vote for Brexit makes all the pro-Heathrow projections by the Airports Commission’s Howard Davies null and void. Davies has moved from unbe- lievable to statistically wrong.
BRYAN TOMLINSON Failure of Anatolian Sky Holidays is so sad
Story: Turkey specialist Anatolian Sky Holidays fails So sorry, Akin. A lovely business reflecting your wonderful work ethic and passion for your country. MANUEL MASCARENHAS
Very sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts are with Akin, all of the staff and management, overseas staff and hoteliers who over the years have given our clients some fantastic holidays. LEE HARRISON
The past week [Istanbul airport bomb] must have been the final straw after all the tragic things that have affected Turkey. TARA JONES
Jim Byers @JimByersTravel Excited to see ‘America Wild’ film about 100th year of US national parks. Thanks @BrandUSA!
