France to double flight tax, raising costs for passengers - The French government is set to more than double its “solidarity tax” on flight tickets next month, increasing costs for passengers. The tax hike, which will affect both economy and business class tickets, aims to help reduce France's deficit and promote ecological fairness. However, critics argue it could harm France's global competitiveness, with Air France estimating a €100m loss and Ryanair threatening to cut flights. The tax, which funds international aid programs, is expected to raise nearly €1bn annually. Some argue it could push air travel away from France due to already high taxes.
