The authorities in that country have tackled all the negative effects of the airline sector by various fiscal means
Shortly after France decided to ban some of its short-haul flights, Belgium has followed through and announced its own measures to curb the popularity of that mobility option. This means that new taxes will be imposed on airlines and private jets as a way to make flights more expensive and thus less appealing to choose.
The new taxation scheme is set to enter into force in the spring of 2023 and it has various facets. Aged and noisy aircraft will be subject to duties. In fact, there has already been a tax in place for large aircraft using Brussels Airport. However, smaller planes were exempted from it with the argument that they aren’t as noisy. That exemption, however, will end for them on 1 April 2023.
Business aviation represents 12 per cent of all air traffic in Belgium, according to the European Business Aviation Association. That means that business and corporate jets until now could fly under the radar when it comes to government fiscal oversight but that will be no longer the case.
The new duties will also be dependent on the greenhouse gas emissions of the aircraft and the length of the flight. Duties will increase for flights that are shorter than 500 kilometres. Given the small size of the country though that will almost certainly also include international flights as well.
The tax system in essence represents an upgrade of the already existing duties in that respect. According to Euronews, in April 2022, Belgium introduced a 2-euro tax per passenger on EU routes and a new boarding tax to encourage alternatives to short-haul flights.
For flights under 500 km from Brussels airport, this tax goes up to 10 euros per passenger. For destinations further afield, it is between 2 and 4 euros. In response, low-cost operator Ryanair closed its base at the airport citing “unsustainable” costs.
