There will be a new domestic band for Air Passenger Duty (APD) for flights within England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which will cut duties by 50% from £13 to £6.50. This should benefit up to nine million passengers from 2023-24.
On the other hand, a new ‘ultra-long-haul band’ of £91 will be levied on flights of 5,500 miles or more, £4 higher than the long-haul band.
