“What I don’t understand: Why long distance? Why not short distance? Just cancel flying 500 kilometers,” he said on the TV show WNL Op Zondag. He also mentioned KLM flights from Schiphol that go to Brussels daily. Oslo also said that all the measures threaten to make holidays too expensive for the “hard-working citizen”, meaning only the “elite” can afford them.
The component parties PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB wrote in their main agreement that the aviation tax on longer-distance flights should be increased. This affects Corendon, which offers, for example, holidays in Curacao and Bonaire. It is not yet known how much the additional tax will rise.
Meanwhile, CEO Junay Oslo of Atilay’s sister company, Corendon, called for aviation to become more sustainable. “Aviation is a reality and aviation emissions are a reality as well. We have to become more sustainable. We have to take that into account and we have to do it together,” she said.
Research by mobility scientists shows, contrary to what Oslo suggests, that long flights have a greater impact than short flights.
