The French government has announced a reduction in the rate of eco tax charged on plane tickets for certain high-priority routes.
The French government has announced a lowering of the rate of eco tax charged on certain French flights, effective from June 1st.
The tax for a standard class journey will fall from €7.40 to €2.63 on 26 routes including Brive-Paris, Limoges-Paris and La Rochelle-Lyon.
The routes are almost all domestic, with the exception of a couple of international connections to Strasbourg, and include most of the links between the French island of Corsica and the mainland.
These routes have a special status as 'public service' routes because they are in areas where other transport options are limited, or where flying represents the only fast connections.
