Stop The Air Tax Now

Nearly 11 million U.S. jobs are tied to commercial aviation. Increasing airline taxes and fees would kill hundreds of thousands of them. At at time when 25 million Americans are out of work, the White House plan to increase airline taxes and fees is an irresponsible strategy to tackle the deficit.

The economic firm of Oliver Wyman estimates that in 2012 alone, the new set of fees and taxes will result in almost 10,000 direct passenger and cargo airline job losses, costing the entire economy 181,000 lost jobs. By 2021, these taxes and fees would result in more than 17,000 direct passenger and cargo airline job losses, costing the entire economy 329,000 lost jobs.
