In a move consistent with several other European countries, such as the UK, France will beef up its air travel taxes starting in March. This means that the taxes travelers pay to board an aircraft will increase. The increase is proportional to the traveled distance. For instance, a domestic or European flight will be taxed at 7 Euro per person, and an intercontinental flight at 40.

Business aviation operators are hit the hardest, with taxes between 420 to more than 2000E.
