I'd be very reticent to take the source that OP has given. If it appears elsewhere, fine, but Guido and chums are not credible, especially on matters pertaining to the EU. They are ideological and partisan. The only other outlets carrying this story are of suspect origins, too: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=eu+carbon+tax+private+jets&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=eu+carbon+tax+private+jets&... See: RT. There is one more credible looking source though, which is this one: https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2231434-eu-draft-exempts-private-jets-cargo-from-jet-fuel-tax https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2231434-eu-draft-exempts-... The key wording: > The European Commission has proposed exempting private jets and cargo flights from the planned EU jet fuel tax. It has proposed this. Which is to say that it can be amended with input from back channels from both Europarl _and_ the national governments. I would be surprised if this headline grabbing omission wasn't kiboshed totally. As usual, Guido will take the opportunity to bash Europe without fairly portraying how it works. This is basic journalistic failure equivalent to slamming Westminster because of the publication of a green paper. EDIT: Original link was to an awful source, the lovely moderators have changed it.
