Germany to Cut Air Passenger Duty from 1 July 2026 by €2.50 to €11.40 Per Passenger
The German Federal Government has decided to reduce air passenger duty rates back to the level they were at before 1 May 2024, with effect from 1 July 2026, to restore the country's appeal as an aviation hub, the Federal Government announced.
At the coalition committee meeting on 13 November, the governing coalition agreed on a comprehensive package of measures to bolster the aviation industry, and the reduction in air passenger duty has been implemented as part of that package.
The decision allows for a reduction in duty rates for short-, medium- and long-haul flights of between 2.50 and 11.40 euros per passenger, the government said.
