Air Passenger Duty
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will consider changing air passenger duty on all passengers so that higher duty is levied on those who fly more frequently.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
The distance-band structure of Air Passenger Duty (APD) already ensures that those who fly furthest, in the greatest comfort, pay the most. Similarly, given APD is charged on all UK-departing flights, those who fly most often pay more.
