The increase in the so-called Luftverkehrsabgabe or 'aviation taxation and subsidies' air traffic tax is part of the measures put together by the German government to plug the budget gap of billions of euros that opened up following a judgement on borrowing by the Constitutional Court.
The Finance Ministry stipulates that the ticket tax will be raised to between 15.53 and 70.83. It will rise on May 1st by almost a fifth depending on the final destination of the journey.
