The German Aviation Association is advocating for significant reductions in air travel taxes, pointing to recent service cuts by Ryanair and Eurowings stemming from escalating costs.
Jens Bischof emphasized the necessity of maintaining affordable flying, urging the German government to abolish the air transport tax and referencing Sweden as a model for reforms.
Germany's air travel tax, which was raised in May 2024, now imposes an additional cost of $16 to $76 per ticket, prompting significant concern within the aviation sector.
With the air travel tax initially introduced for environmental reasons, it has now become contentious as the aviation industry faces reduced flight availability from exorbitant airport fees.
