Flying Matters in the spotlight

FLYING MATTERS, a national campaign for flying, has launched a newly redesigned website, alongside an internet advertising campaign.  The movement, which represents a coalition of pro-flying organisations including business, trade unions, tourism, organisations, farmers in the developing world and the aviation industry, plans to make greater use of social media tools such as Twitter to contribute to the public debate on the economic and social benefits of aviation.  Last week it placed adverts on leading political blogs and the websites of the Spectator and New Statesman magazines.  Chairman is the Right Hon Brian Wilson, a former MP, who stood down at the last election after 18 years in Parliament.  Between 1997 and 2005, he held five Ministerial posts, including Minister for Trade and Minister for Energy. www.flyingmatters.org.uk
