Overview

• The French government plans to introduce a new tax on the aviation sector as part of its 2025 budget proposal.
• The proposed tax is expected to generate an additional €1 billion for the state, with a focus on taxing airline tickets.
• The aviation industry, represented by the Union of French Airports and the National Federation of Aviation, argues that the tax is disproportionate and could harm the sector.
• Industry leaders are calling for a comprehensive impact study to assess the potential economic consequences before the tax is implemented.
• The aviation sector claims that the increased tax burden could hinder investment in sustainable technologies and ultimately reduce fiscal revenues.
