Sweden Set To Introduce Emissions-based Charges for Flights
The Swedish government will introduce takeoff and landing charges to encourage airlines to use more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower emissions.

The Swedish government is preparing to introduce takeoff and landing charges that it says will encourage airlines to use more energy-efficient aircraft with lower carbon emissions. On March 21, the country’s infrastructure minister, Tomas Eneroth, said his department intends to roll out the charges beginning in July, subject to their approval by Sweden’s parliament. The government has signaled its desire to encourage a switch from jet-A to biofuels.
