- magicalhippo 5y agoAFAIK that would require changes to the customs area, which might have consequences for other aspects like transiting goods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_control#Customs_area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_control#Customs_area
- chrisseaton 5y ago> They can’t impose a tax on jets that use their airspace? Presumably they already signed aviation treaties that do not allow for this.
- _rpd 5y agoYes, there is a tangle of 5000+ Air Services Agreements which, as international treaties, supersede national laws. Almost all agreements include mutual tax exemptions on anything not unloaded at a destination, including fuel.
- sokoloff 5y agoEurocontrol already has fees for ATC usage. This fuel tax is presumably in addition to that.
