Hoping to put travel anxieties to rest

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

On St George's Day, there's no need to trim your travel sails. Despite challenging headlines travel remains in good health. My guest today, Ted Wake, managing director of Kirker Holidays, says that airlines could cut one flight in five with impunity. "There is scope for the airlines to trim their schedules in the coming months without having any appreciable impact on consumers."This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.
