HEATHROW Airport passengers will now be charged an extra £8.90 to fly from the airport as part of a "pandemic tax". The fees will be enforced from April to cover costs lost during the pandemic. The new charge will be charged by airlines who claim the fee is due to costs being increased from the airport including baggage, handling and other costs. This means a family of four face an extra £35.60 on top of their flights due to the new tax. The airport said no profit was being made as it was only to cover the additional operating costs, and may only run until the end of the year. While other airports including London Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester has said they won't be following suit, experts have warned it may set a trend.

GATWICK Airport is introducing new charges for anyone being dropped off at the North Terminal. All the passengers will face a £5 charge at the airport under the new plans. This will affect all vehicles, excluding blue badge holders, at North Terminal from March 8, when staying for up to 10 minutes. Anyone staying longer will be charged £1 a minute up to £20, up to a maximum time of 30 minutes for £25.

W hen Google bought DeepMind, a London-based technology start-up, five years ago, it claimed it would preserve the company’s autonomy. It would set up an independent ethics board for the artificial intelligence company. After Google's restructuring to Alphabet, it would be part of the holding company, rather than under Google’s umbrella. It would even prevent Google staff from entering DeepMind offices. But any illusion of Deepmind's independence disappeared last week as one of the its co-founders, Mustafa Suleyman, had taken leave in a mutual decision with the firm. “Mustafa’s taking some time out right now after ten hectic years," a DeepMind spokesperson said. It is a situation Patrick Pichette probably could have foreseen. Google's former chief financial officer was involved in striking the deal. Now, he says, he actively advises companies against selling out early. “My counsel is, why would you sell yourself?” Montreal-born Pichette says. “You’ll be caught in the big … [Read more...] about British start-ups should rebuff US takeover offers, says ex-Google finance chief
