Rejected petition End UK Taxpayer-funded airline fuel subsidies

The UK government should not be subsidising private airline companies through fuel tax-payer funded subsidies which ultimately leads to further air pollution.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what subsidies you would like the Government to remove. As part of international agreements airline fuel is not subject to fuel duty globally, however, you could start a petition calling for the Government to lead negotations to end zero fuel duty on airline fuel, if that's something you'd like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
