The federal government is working on a solution that complies with EU law to oblige airlines to pass on passenger-related taxes and fees to end customers. State Secretary Magnus Brunner's credo is: "The taxi ride to the airport must not be more expensive than the flight itself."

The flight customer must be served realistic prices, everything else does not correspond to reality, so Brunner continues. In this way, awareness of environmental protection can also be created. "Specifically, I would like to prevent 9,90 euro tickets, because these enticing offers do not represent the real flight costs!"

He was aiming for the implementation of the true cost of flying for the end of 2022. A concrete model will be developed over the summer, but the parliamentary process is planned for autumn. "At the same time, we continue to fight at European level to bring about a European solution for a common system."
