- Sweden reversed its air travel tax policy that aimed to curb carbon emissions in 2018, during a time when “flight shaming” had been popularized by environmental activists like Greta Thunberg. Since its inception, domestic air travel has slumped—but the shift, effective July 1, has aviation industry leaders hopeful for future investments in sustainable technology.
Sweden is abandoning a tax on air travel six years after its introduction as the government looks to boost the country’s commercial aviation industry.
