The tax reduction varies between €2.50 and €11.40 per flight, depending on the route. However, the extent to which airlines will pass these savings onto consumers remains uncertain, particularly in light of rising fuel prices. This legislative change fulfills a commitment from the coalition agreement among CDU, CSU, and SPD, but it is projected to result in a significant loss of state revenue, estimated at €185 million for the current year and potentially rising to €355 million annually by 2030. The new tax rates will decrease from €15.53 to €13.03 for short-haul flights, from €39.34 to €33.01 for medium-haul, and from €70.83 to €59.43 for long-haul flights.
