A spokesperson for the SNPL stated that the strike is a response to the government's intent to raise an additional billion euros yearly from the aviation sector, particularly criticizing the lack of consultation with industry stakeholders concerning the significant hike in the solidarity tax on airline tickets.
The proposed adjustments to the solidarity tax would result in a staggering tripling of the current rates, impacting travelers significantly with new prices announced for economy and first-class tickets, which the SNPL warns could lead to job losses and weaken French carriers against foreign competition.
