Intra-EU aviation CO2 emissions have increased by 26,3% over the past 5 years.
In 2018, they grew 4.9% to 67.5 million tonnes of CO2 which almost equals the total annual emissions of Portugal (72.5 million tonnes in 2016).
Despite these alarming numbers, the price of plane tickets is kept artificially low in Europe. The most climate damaging mode of transport is benefiting from unjustified, unfair and harmful tax advantages:
Airlines pay no fuel tax in the EU, while many countries in the rest of the world, including Saudi Arabia, have a kerosene tax for domestic flights.
Furthermore, VAT is not applied for international plane tickets.
It is time to end the absurd kerosene tax exemption in Europe and use the tax revenues to invest in the European railway infrastructure! This is why we, a group of students from all over the EU, have launched a European Citizens’ Initiative that calls to end to the kerosene tax exemption in the EU.
