The Swedish government wants to remove international obstacles to introducing a tax directly targeting fossil aviation fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201d"Aviation must reduce its climate impact," says Minister of Infrastructure Tomas Eneroth (S).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, international regulations prevent states from introducing national taxes directly targeting fossil aviation fuel in international air traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has, among other things, meant that the Swedish aviation tax has instead been directed at air travel itself and has thus not become a blow to the aviation industry to accelerate the transition to alternative aviation fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWe need to find more instruments to enable the flight to be reconfigured,\u201d says Eneroth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201d"A change in international regulations would make it possible to change the Swedish aviation tax so that it becomes more environmentally friendly," he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Eneroth, the current focus is on using taxes to get international aviation to mix in more biofuel and eventually switch to biofuel entirely. According to the minister, a tax on fossil aviation fuel could also be used to stimulate the development of electric aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eneroth expects resistance and negative reactions when he raises the issue at the UN's international aviation agency ICAO's general assembly in Montreal late Tuesday evening Swedish time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is being taken in the shadow of the UN's Climate Week in New York, where Prime Minister Stefan L\u00f6fven and environmental activist Greta Thunberg are participating, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201d"It will naturally arouse resistance. It is a clear change from how the international regulatory framework has been before," says Eneroth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Eneroth, a number of EU countries have today introduced or plan to introduce some form of aviation tax for environmental reasons \u2013 including France, the Netherlands and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Eneroth, the issue of a tax on fossil aviation fuel will also be pursued by the Swedish government in the EU, to coordinate the climate transition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
