Airline tickets are becoming more expensive: how much more money travelers will soon have to pay. As of: January 29, 2024, 3:40 p.m By: Kilian Bäuml CommentsPressSplit The cost of airline tickets is rising because the government will soon increase the ticket tax by a full 19 percent.

The costs will probably be passed on to consumers. An increase in flight prices was already foreseeable, as the Handelsblatt reports. The federal government expects additional revenue of around 580 million euros to cover the budget deficit.
