The world has seen an enormous increase in flights for leisure, business, and commercial purposes around the world over recent years. What do you think are the main advantages and disadvantages of such flights? Do you think flights should be taxed more?

In addition

industries to boost their services to outdo their competitors.

is one of the observed business strategies done in surpassing their competitors. Despite the interesting benefits that the boom of diversified flights brings, its disadvantages cannot be disregarded. When more flights are made available for commercial,

and business purposes, the local and small-scale entrepreneur will be in jeopardy. The imported products can overshadow the locally made ones because the commodities sold in the local market will become wider in range that can influence

That is

why, adding higher taxes on these aviation services can only lead to slowing economic progress as it can either reduce global

or cause an exorbitant increase of prices on imported goods. Taking everything into account, the widely observed proliferation of services in air travel has impacted positively the people and the country.

should not be the basis for adding higher taxes on flights since the effect can only derail economic progress.
