The International Air Transport Association (IATA) highlights Sweden's and New Zealand's contrasting approaches to aviation taxation. Sweden will abolish its aviation tax by July 2025, which ranges from SEK 76-504 (USD 7.4-49, EUR 6.7-44). The tax had slowed the country's aviation recovery and economic competitiveness. IATA sees this as a positive step to boost air travel and investment, advocating for investments in sustainable aviation fuels rather than taxation to address environmental issues. Meanwhile, New Zealand is increasing its International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) and visa fees, making travel more expensive. IATA warns this could delay tourism recovery beyond 2026 and result in economic losses, while concerns over the transparency of how the new funds will be used remain. 📑 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dN58qkY4

Airlines are increasingly focused on improving the passenger experience through innovative ancillary services. One key improvement is meal pre-ordering, which allows travelers to choose their meals in advance, caters to dietary needs and reduces waste. Fast-tracking services have also become popular, streamlining airport processes with priority check-in, security, and boarding. This reduces wait times and stress, offering a smoother journey, especially during peak periods. Additionally, real-time baggage tracking allows passengers to monitor their luggage through mobile apps, providing reassurance and reducing concerns over lost or delayed bags. 🔗 Read more details: https://lnkd.in/duz8VBXB
