The French TSBA ticket tax rose on 1 March 2025, increasing the charge per passenger from €207.37 to €2,097.37.
EBAA France’s chairman said the tax multiplied by a factor of 700 and that French business‑flight traffic fell 11–20 % each quarter after the hike, with operators conducting about 2,000 flights in Q3 2025 versus 2,600 a year earlier; foreign operators’ share of the market grew to 91 % by mid‑2026 and they recorded nearly 10,000 more movements in the first three quarters of 2025 compared with the same period in 2019, while the tax generated only €42.6 million in 2025, far below the €150 million expected.
