Old computers were blamed by British Airways after it
admitted that it had been charging
airport passenger duty at
airports where the
levy had been abolished. The airline faces claims for thousands of pounds
from passengers after Rod Eddington, chief executive, apologised for wrongly
imposing the tax on routes from ten airports since April 1. BA said that the
oversight was due to its outdated booking terminals still in use at some
travel agents and smaller airports. |
