A tax hike on Air Passenger Duty (APD) may increase the cost of holidays abroad.
The increases will be based on the rate of inflation measured by the retail price index (RPI).
The current rate of £13 per person will increase to mirror September 2022's RPI, anticipated to be 12.6%, adding £30 extra for an average family holiday.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced that Air Passenger Duty (APD) will increase in line with the retail price index (RPI), with travellers likely to face extra charges on their upcoming summer holidays.
Currently, the APD tax stands at £13 per person flying up to 2,000 miles from their destination.
However, this is set to increase, adding up to £30 for an average family taking a holiday abroad.
For longer haul trips, the tax increase will be even higher, with a flight to Thailand or Australia requiring an increased payment from £84 to £91.
The taxes are expected to continue rising alongside inflation, which may affect the cost of travel in the future.
While The Independent uses relatively neutral language to discuss the tax increase, The Mirror emphasises the impact on how the rise will affect "an average family's holiday" and "those who can afford to fly long-haul to far away destinations."
