People who fly 1,000 times more than average only use 1,000 times more carbon. If jet fuel was taxed more then frequent flyers would pay that tax 1,000 times more often. Luckily this is already the case.
Private jets on the other hand, are sometimes exempt.

- nickcw 4y agoFrom the linked article > Under current legislation, across Europe fuel used for aviation is largely tax-exempt, with a small exemption for low-altitude recreational aircrafts. This has long allowed air freight companies, commercial airlines and private jet operators to operate with a free pass regarding taxation. Which implies, in Europe at least, there is no tax on jet fuel currently.

- saurik 4y agoWhile I agree the double negative is awkward there it would read a lot easier with "small exception" instead of "small exemption" and maybe the author even wanted that word but was writing an article full of the word "exemption" and either made a mistake or forgot.
