Countries already apply taxes to flights in or outbound from their territories.
Airlines already apply "fuel surcharges" as part of their ticketing.
Adding a, for example, EU-wide tax on outbound flights based on the distance of origin/destination, would be one way of implementing.
Getting international agreement on, for example, having it apply only to outbound flights, would mean that is not a tax on imports, that could be considered a tariff.
The income could then be spent on subsidizing the other costs of decarbonization.
