The Swedish government has decided to abolish the air ticket tax, which has been in force since 2018, on July 1, 2025. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) welcomed this move and described the tax as harmful to Sweden’s economic competitiveness and ineffective for environmental goals.
The tax, which ranged from SEK 76 to SEK 504 per ticket depending on the destination, was originally intended to reduce CO2 emissions from air travel. The Swedish government sees the abolition as part of a comprehensive growth reform that also includes investments in infrastructure and research. The abolition of the tax is expected to result in significant tax losses, estimated at SEK 870 million in 2025 and more than SEK 1.8 billion in the following years.
IATA praised the decision as recognition that the tax was economically detrimental and ineffective in achieving environmental goals. IATA instead calls for increased investment in sustainable aviation fuels and technologies to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Swedish airline BRA also welcomed the decision, pointing out that the tax did not reflect the actual carbon emissions of air travel.
