Will Germany's aviation tax cut lower ticket prices?
German lawmakers in the Bundestag have approved a proposal to cut aviation tax to pre-May 2024 levels, with reductions ranging from €2.50 to €11.40 per flight by distance, set to take effect July 1 if passed by the Bundesrat; the measure will reduce federal annual tax revenues by €350 million. Experts and industry representatives warn the cut will not meaningfully lower ticket prices, citing higher kerosene costs, operational hurdles like aircraft delivery backlogs and pilot shortages, and the fact that aviation tax represents only a portion of the industry’s total tax burden.
