Luxury and corporate jets to receive exemptions from EU aviation fuel tax

Yet another example of 'One Rule for Me and another For Thee'...

I (sort of) get the carve out for cargo only flights but an exemption for private business jets??? WTF!

Indeed. I'd expect private jets should be taxed more since their benefit to society is smaller than a passenger or cargo jet

Depends of which society you're talking about. High society doesn't want to pay taxes.

1. I think this is just a headline. Maybe the page is rendering wrong for me but i don't see an article.

2. The Blaze is a Conservative media outlet started by Glenn Beck. It's not straight news.

My b — will post the orig article separately

It says right in the article that the story came from the Irish Times. Who cares if the Blaze is relaying it?

The headline makes it sound like it's already certain, but the article says it's still a plan.

Tim Cook: "So we'll soon have to make our products compatible with standard chargers, right? Well, let's talk about that fuel tax for business flights then".

EU lawmaker: "Deal!".

Lol
