Air tax has risen tenfold since Air Passenger Duty was introduced
Air taxes are to rise by up to 55% on Monday, making some trips unaffordable, the travel industry has warned.

A family of four flying in economy to Australia will now pay £340 in total taxes - an extra £120.

The same family to the US will pay 33% more Air Passenger Duty (APD), up £60 to £240.

Unbelievable ......No one will be able to afford to fly soon and with increase in air tax has just added to the cost of flying , so guess the airlines will be suffering in the future .
