EasyJet has cut its flights from Luton airpost due to "alleged disagreement with the airport authorites on landing fees." My knowledge of the aviation industry is limited to the knowledge that many Kuwait air does not serve alcohol and the nose flegm passes for "juice" on British Airways. Even so, I can just imagine the following conversation between an EasyJet pilot and Luton Air Traffic Control -
EasyJet Pilot: EasyJet to Luton ATC, are we all clear for landing?
Luton ATC: Er, you haven't paid your landing fees. You can't land here.
EasyJet Pilot: WHAT? But I just took off from here this morning?
Luton ATC: Taking off's fine. It's landing that we have trouble with. You see you haven't paid your landing fees.
EasyJet Pilot: So what am I supposed to do? My wife's expecting me back for dinner.
Luton ATC: Err...
EasyJet Pilot: I'm going to crash!
Luton ATC: I think that's fine. So long as you don't actually land.
