Or make the British one

How much does the UK receive in tax from the likes of Tui, Jet2, Ryanair, EasyJet, BA etc... from flights? Is it really that much less compared to a so called 'staycation'?

I think it's more to do with keeping other industries going. People using hotels, restaurants, shops etc here rather than abroad and thus safeguarding their jobs.

Of course there is a bit of swings and roundabouts because the airlines etc will have less business and thus endanger jobs in that sector, but I guess they think protecting the wider economy to be more beneficial/important to that one sector.
