Air Passenger Duty

Air Passenger Duty (APD) is a tax charged by the government on airline tickets when passengers fly from the UK. The amount varies based on factors such as the flight's destination, class of travel, and emissions level. It helps fund infrastructure and public services, and encourages airlines to reduce carbon emissions by offering lower rates for environmentally friendly flights. Essentially, APD is a way for the government to collect revenue from air travel and promote more sustainable flying practices.
