Details

From 1 April 2023, there will be a new domestic band for Air Passenger Duty for flights within the UK and a new ultra-long-haul band covering destinations with capitals located more than 5,500 miles from London.

These changes will support UK air connectivity and align Air Passenger Duty more closely with the UK’s environmental objectives.
