Business aircraft charter operators are facing heavy per-passenger taxes when operating from airports in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam Schiphol, where Jet Aviation has an FBO.

Air charter operators flying from Dutch airports are facing a new per-passenger tax under an amendment to the Air Travel Tax Differentiation Bill agreed by the country’s House of Representatives. The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and the Dutch Business Aviation Association (DBAA) are jointly opposing the measure, which will now go for a vote in the Senate.

The higher rate of tax would apply to aircraft with 19 passenger seats or fewer, and is almost identical to a similar tax already imposed by the French government. Per-passenger rates will range from €420 ($488) for flights of up to 2,000 km (1,087 nm), rising to €2,100 for sectors over 5,500 km.
