£1 extra for short-haul economy to £30 for long haul premium.

I dont think that anyone will even notice, however add it all up.......(I'm not going to)

Heathrow alone had 67 million pax last year . 

Environmental grounds ? 

It should be, but the environment I think they have in mind is a fiscal one, of increasing Government debt;and every little helps with the next months interest payments on that debt.
