The debate about air traffic tax in Germany has received new impetus thanks to the proposal from Christoph Ploß, the federal government’s tourism coordinator. Ploß proposes to reduce the tax on domestic flights in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the German aviation industry. This measure could be particularly beneficial for low-cost airlines, which often avoid German airports due to high taxes and fees.
Ploß’s proposal addresses a demand from the airline industry, which has long criticized double taxation on return flights within Germany. Airlines currently have to pay the tax twice for domestic flights, which increases costs for passengers and reduces the attractiveness of such flights. A reduction in the tax could help to stimulate domestic air traffic in Germany and reduce prices for consumers.
The air traffic tax was increased by the current government, which has put German airports at a competitive disadvantage compared to other European countries. According to a survey by the ADAC, state taxes and fees in Germany are among the highest in Europe. As a result, many international airlines avoid German airports, which has a negative impact on tourism and the economy.
A reduction in air traffic tax could not only improve the competitiveness of the German aviation industry, but also have positive effects on tourism and the economy. Cheaper flight prices could attract more tourists to Germany and increase mobility within the country. However, it remains to be seen whether the government will implement Ploß’s proposal and what impact this could have on the industry in the long term.
