The outcome of the Treasury’s air passenger duty (APD) consultation has confirmed the following:
As announced in Autumn Budget 2021, the UK government will introduce a new reduced domestic band from 1 April 2023 to ‘support the viability of existing domestic air routes and potentially lead to increased frequency on existing routes and/or the establishment of new routes, and the social and economic benefits that this could provide’. Private business jets will be excluded from the reduction.
The number of APD international distance bands will be increased from April 2023, with bands set at 0–2,000 miles (short-haul flights to most destinations in Europe and North Africa), 2,000–5,500 miles (most of the rest of the world), and 5,500 miles+ (‘ultra long-haul’ – including Japan, Australia, South Africa and Argentina).
