Spanish Minister for Ecological Transition: Increased air travel taxes 'interesting'

19 February, 2020

Spain's Minister for Ecological Transition Teresa Ribera said proposals to apply more taxes to air travel are "interesting and reasonable [since] those who travel in that sector have more resources" (El Economista, 17-Feb-2020). The government is reportedly considering increasing controls on air transport to force the sector to compensate for and reduce emissions.
