Det spørs om ikke den nye særtyske skatten vil straffe Tyskland og Lufthansa som "connection point". Regner med at skatten også gjelder for connection flights.

The amount of tax depends on the distance from the Frankfurt airport (even if the departure is not in Frankfurt, but e.g. in Berlin) to the destination airport. If the destination airport is not more than 2,500 km away from the Frankfurt airport, the tax is €8 per passenger and flight. If the destination airport is more than 2,500 km, but not more than 6,000 km away from the Frankfurt airport, the tax is €25 per passenger and flight. And finally, if the destination airport is more than 6,000 km away from the Frankfurt airport, the tax is €45 per passenger and flight. The German Air Traffic Tax Act includes an attachment in which most of the worldwide airports are listed together with the taxable amount.
