New in 2011: flight taxes
December 23, 2010 By 1 Comment
This summer the German Government introduced a new tax of flight tickets. It is called the Luftverkehrsabgabe, and means that passengers have to pay between 8 and 45 Euros per flight and applies to all commercial passenger flights that take-off at German airports from 1st Januar, 2011.
Just to make sure that people did not start booking their flights for next year early, the tax came into force on 1st September this year, so that it would be levied on any tickets purchased from that date onwards for flights in 2011.
One of the results has been that Ryanair have announced that they will be reducing the number of their flights from German airports, including Frankfurt-Hahn, which will be a blow to the economy on the rural parts of the country where such airports are located. Some estimates put the number of jobs that will be lost at around 3000.
But with less flights taking off, surely the revenue from other taxes will go down as well? Will the new tax have any effect, other than to reduce the choice of German travellers and push up prices?
