The tax will decrease from €15.53 to €13.03 for flights up to 2,500 kilometers, from €39.34 to €33.01 for flights between 2,500 and 6,000 kilometers, and from €70.83 to €59.43 for long-haul flights. The decision, supported by the Union, SPD, and AfD, is projected to result in annual revenue losses of approximately €330 million. Critics, including the Greens and the Left Party, argue that the reduction undermines climate goals, especially as the government subsidizes air travel by €12 billion annually, while public transport fares are increasing.
