Environmental organisations, led by Stay Grounded, are proposing a progressive European tax on frequent air travellers to reduce aviation emissions and generate funds for climate transition. The tax would start from the third flight in a year (second round trip), aiming to target wealthier frequent flyers while sparing occasional travellers.

    That isn’t very many flight’s is it?

    Fly home for Christmas and fly on one holiday you get the tax.

    Anyone flying for work their company’s would pass on costs to consumers again anyway.

    It’s just a tax to keep anyone who might move up in the world down a rung
