The bill will eliminate the domestic passenger ticket tax and reduce the
international arrival and departure tax by 50 percent, reducing the
overall burden to both the airlines and the traveling public. It will
generate revenues based on the costs that users impose on the air traffic
system, whether they are commercial, business or general aviation users.


Ironic that it says nothing about reducing the fuel tax we now pay. I guess
GA gets to pay twice?
