The UK government is set to revise its Air Passenger Duty (APD) structure, which will take effect on 1 April.

These changes will particularly impact long-haul flights and private jet travel, with reported increases in duty rates.

Operators should prepare for the implications of these adjustments on pricing and capacity management in the aviation sector.
