Holland scraps flight tax
As of 1 July 2009, the Dutch government will scrap the flight tax. The flight tax was introduced on 1 July 2008 for all passengers who left Holland from a domestic airport. The flight tax for short-haul flights was €11.25, while long-haul passengers were charged €45. The abolition of the flight tax is one of the measures by the Dutch government to stimulate the country’s economy in these difficult times.
