The UK chancellor, George Osborne, has promised to "explore changes to the aviation tax system, including switching from a per passenger to a per plane duty, which could encourage fuller planes."

Any change will be subject to public consultations, with a report likely to arrive in the northern autumn.

In November, the UK's per-person tax is scheduled to rise from GBP22 to GBP24 on short-haul flights, from GBP90 to GBP120 on flights between 2001 and 4000 miles, from GBP100 to GBP150 on flights between 4001 and 6000 miles and from GBP110 to GBP170 on flights over 6000 miles under plans put in place by the previous Labour government.

These rises will see annual government revenue from the tax reach GBP3.8 billion.
