Chancellor Jeremy Hunt did not specify the rate of APD increase, but told the Commons it would fall “on non-economy” ticket sales “to accommodate for high inflation in recent years”.
Treasury documents do not specify the increase, but say it will raise an extra £110 million next year (2025/26), plus a further £10 million a year for each year after that through to 2028/29.
The Treasury said: “The 2025/26 APD rates for economy passengers will increase in line with forecast RPI [Retail Price Index], rounded to the nearest pound.
