The Government of Catalonia approved last Tuesday the creation of an environmental tax that will be charged in Barcelona to commercial flights.
The Catalan Government expects this measure be definitely adopted before the next summer.
It is expected that this rate be charged to all commercial flights departing from Barcelona airport and they presume to collect about 3.9 million Euros a year.
According to the Minister of the Presidency, Mr. Homs, this new tax will not generate an extra cost for passengers since the Law Regulations will prevent airlines charge this new tax to their clients directly.
According to travelupdate.com this new tax would increase the amounts to be paid by 1%.
