Air passenger duty

EasyJet: campaigns against air passenger duty tax




Air passenger duty

Air passenger duty was reduced on economy flights 1996 making the option of travelling outbound more affordable for a lot more people. This removed the barrier to the growth of inbound tourism. However, in 2006 it was increased. In 2008 air passenger duty was restructured, it now took distance into consideration making long distance flying a lot more expensive. Also charges once again rose in 2009 and then again in November 2010. This is not an improvement in the travel and tourism industry. This now means that's its now even harder for some people to be able to experience outbound tourism because of the price. Now putting up the barrier to the growth of inbound tourism which had once been removed.
