Netherlands-based travel firms are urging the Dutch government to rethink steep aviation tax rises they say could price ordinary families out of holidays and push travellers to airports across the border.

The campaign comes after it was revealed that two-thirds of Dutch travellers are concerned that air travel from the Netherlands will become too expensive if the planned tax rises go ahead.

Alongside TUI, Corendon, Transavia and KLM, the companies are calling on The Hague to rethink Dutch air travel taxes, which could become the highest across the whole EU from next year. (Euronews)
