Sweden abolishes aviation tax

Industry groups such as Airlines for Europe and the German Travel Association argued that Sweden's aviation tax did not incentivise environmental improvement and weakened the competitiveness of Swedish aviation, with revenues not reinvested in decarbonisation efforts^{1 2}. Ryanair and Norwegian welcomed the abolition, highlighting the move would free up resources for sustainable aviation and support new investment, routes, and jobs in Sweden^{3 4}.
