Politicians haven't thought out the possible side effects of imposing tax on aviation fuel. If the tax is not introduced universally and at the same rate everywhere then we will tanker fuel from the destinations where it is cheap. We could even find ourselves tech stopping to pick up cheap fuel enroute if the price differential made it worth while. The end result would be greater fuel burns to carry the extra fuel around thus completely negating any intention to reduce co2 emissions.
