On: France to tax flights from its airports, airline shares fall

[patd]

Doesn’t it only cover fuel that is already on board when the plane lands ?

And the Chicago Convention seems to have been revised 8 times already (according to Wikipedia) so it’s not set in stone.

It covers fuel on board and fuel leaving the country.

My naive reading is that it prohibits double taxing (taxing fuel already purchased). Are you saying that when fuel my aircraft they ask the destination so they can gauge the tax?

Yep. I used to fuel planes, international flights have INTL EXEMPT on the fuel slip.
