Denmark's Air Pax Tax Begins in 2025
New 'green tax' applies to aircraft with 10 or more seats

Denmark will begin collecting a per-passenger air travel tax next year with rates that will gradually escalate through 2030. The tax applies to all fixed-wing aircraft—commercial and private—with more than 10 seats and an mtow of 12,566 pounds or more.

They will be levied on a sliding-rate scale based on flight length: intra-Europe, medium-haul, and long-haul. Rates initially will range from $4.48 to $44.82 per passenger but will rise from $7.35 to $60.30 by 2030.
