Sweden to introduce green-tax on plane travel
By EUobserver
Sweden is preparing to tax high-polluting aircraft in what its government has called a European and world's first such move on climate change. "This means that takeoff and landing fees can be more significant when a plane's climate impact is higher and they can be reduced when the climate impact is lower," the Swedish infrastructure ministry said Monday, referring primarily to choice of fuel, including biofuels.
