A BREAKDOWN OF THE PRICE
OF AN AIRLINE TICKET
Air transport is subject to a bevy of taxes and fees that are reflected in the
price of an airline ticket. These levies, often specific to national regulatory
environments, can represent up to 40% of the price of the ticket, to which
are added the general contributions and taxes common to all businesses
(taxes on earnings and salaries, on consumption and on assets). Most of
them are necessary for the smooth running of airport activities, though
certain funds are also redistributed to other sectors of the economy.

Taxes and fees in France
French companies are subject to a number of taris grouped together under the name “Passenger
Air Transport Tax.” These specific government levies include:
THE CIVIL
AVIATIONRATE
This funds the operational
and legal monitoring
activities of the central
administration, the DGAC
(Direction générale de
l’aviation civile [French
Civil Aviation Authority]).
The aviation sector is
unique in that it funds its
administration’s functioning.
In the other EU countries,
services are state funded.
THE SAFETY AND
SECURITYRATE
This levy, formerly the airport tax,
funds government projects within
airports. France is the only OECD
(Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development)
country in which security and
safety investments in airports are
fully funded by the operators.
Furthermore, the increase earmarked
to cover the deficit from the COVID
years alone could represent €35million
in added costs for Air France.
SOLIDARITY RATE
This is intended to fund
development assistance
to poor countries.
This rate, applied in some
10 countries, has been
topped up in France
since 2020 with an
eco-contribution to fund
railway infrastructure.
Fuel prices
In addition to government taxes, airport and navigation fees are added to compensate airport
managers for the services and facilities they oer, whether for equipment for receiving passengers,
air trac control services or the infrastructure required for aircraft operation (runways, parking lots,
ground equipment, etc.).
Fuel prices make up 25% of operating costs on average, a share that varies widely
depending on the price of raw materials and the distance travelled. In the medium
term, incorporating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will increase this cost considerably
as its price per tonne is currently four to eight times that of kerosene.

AN INFLATIONARY TREND
FROM NOW UNTIL 2035
BY 2030
In the years to come, the expenses of the decarbonization
imperative may multiply by a factor of 12 for the
AirFrance Group.
Regulatory measures (incorporation of sustainable
aviation fuels; the price of the European carbon
emissions quotas, or ETS [Emissions Trading System];
domestic and international compensation measures;
kerosene tax) will reach over €2 billion a year by 2030.
