It would be good to mention the whining of other tranport companies, train companies I believe, about government subsidy of air traffic, BAA in particular. Also there is a story to be told about the "two tills" system - i.e. restrictions between what cross-subsiding is allowed of money from shops and money from landing fees. As you can see, I am not totally sure what the detail is on these issues, but I am aware that there are issues!

Great start though. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 11:22, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Value Added Tax

Could someone clarify the VAT position of the shops in BAA airports (or any UK Airport for that matter). I don't believe that they are VAT exempt. Based on a conversation I had in Dixons in Heathrow Airport a couple of years ago - All items have VAT, they are only exempt if the traveller is going outside of the EU. They just reduce the price in the airport shops so it is the same price as it would be there was no VAT. If a company wishes to buy something from an Airport shop they would get a full VAT invoice showing the VAT paid if the customer [business traveller] is travelling with in the EU. --Colin Angus Mackay 18:18, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Other retail interests

Does anyone know anything about other retail centres owned and operated by BAA. I was in McArthur Glen Centre in Livingston, Scotland today and saw a large sign detailing that the centre was owned and operated by BAA. Anyone have any certified information on this? --Brideshead 20:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BAA plc.png

Image:BAA plc.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
