Chancellor Jeremy Hunt increases Air Passenger Duty for premium and first-class cabins to offset inflation.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announces a "one-off adjustment" to increase Air Passenger Duty (APD) for passengers in premium and first-class cabins, aiming to account for high inflation in recent years. The APD currently ranges from £13 to £200 based on flight distance for premium cabin passengers on departures from UK airports. Critics argue the move will hinder growth for small and medium-sized enterprises and make the UK less competitive on the global stage.
