A new levy on jet fuel will take effect on January 1st for airline tickets purchased from October 1st, aiming to promote sustainable aviation practices. The tax will apply to all flights, with the amount calculated based on the immediate destination for those with multiple stops. However, a planned levy on air cargo has been postponed for one year, offering relief to the freight industry. This initiative is designed to incentivize the use of cleaner fuels and reduce the carbon footprint of air travel. Authorities hope the levy will generate funds for investments in sustainable aviation fuel development and related infrastructure. The delayed cargo levy allows businesses time to adapt to the potential increased costs. Ultimately, this policy reflects a growing global push for decarbonization within the aviation sector.
