In recent years, the greenhouse gases emissions issue and its potentially harmful effects on the planet have definitively entered the government agenda around the world, especially to international meetings that aimed an agreement to solve the problem between countries. In the airline industry, it is known that the fuel burn is an important source of emission for those gases. It is known that the airline tickets pricing taxation, by directly affecting the air travel generation, has the potential to act as a demand diminisher instrument and, consequently, the number of trips and flights and, ultimately, fuel consumption. The present paper aims to quantify this relationship, simulating the inclusion of an environmental tax on aviation kerosene price and its indirect impact on air transport demand. It was estimated, using an econometric model, that the demand would fall with a price increase due to the tax, but this reaction happens in an asymmetric way according to the market characteristics. It was noticed that routes with a more tourist profile would notice a 6.06% fall in the demand to a 10EUR tax, while a more business route would decrease 2.35% for the same 10EUR tax.Downloads
