Tax on Europe's frequent flyers could raise 64bn a year study

A frequent-flyer levy could incentivize reduced air travel among the wealthiest and raise 64 billion annually, while minimizing costs for the majority.

Those who fly more frequently would bear the brunt of the proposed tax, significantly impacting their travel habits, while low-income households are less likely to be affected.

The report indicates that 72% of individuals would avoid fees entirely, making the proposal equitable for occasional travelers.

The analysis suggests that implementing a staggered tax could reduce passenger numbers by 26% and emissions by 21% by 2028, thus helping combat climate change.
