What do you guys think? My initial thought is that it sounds like a moronic idea. A lot of countries near the equator could offer better prices - French Guiana or rest of South America.
What do you think about the reasoning behind the tax?
Given that each airline can keep hundreds of machines in the air at any one time, and rocket launches happen weekly at best, paying 10% of the overall fee does not look fair.
Would be happy to know what aviation specialists think.
From an economic and geopolitical standpoint it's clearly a poor choice to introduce an extra tax on something which drives a large amount of economic activity and is an important strategic asset.
