Well I definitely see Ryanair making detours to, say, Algiers to tank cheaply.
The best and most elegant solution.
I would add a third option there: the aviation lobby is too strong, sufficiently suppressing the urge to find solutions. ;)
Indeed, but aviation is slightly more mobile than say steel production. It’s a bad excuse nonetheless, if you ask me!
Now I don’t agree with it (in fact, I am strongly opposed to the tax exemption), but the reasoning is that this way you create an ‘even playing field’ for aviators all across the globe. In other words: it’s doesn’t become more attractive to tank in Arab Gulf states, making their airlines out-compete European airlines.
Let me know if you find it!
