update (19 April 2011): The airport tax, or Zimbabwean Aviation Infrastructural Development Fee (AIDF), has been postponed for the time being.
etnw.co.za is reporting that Zimbabwean Authorities announced a new airport tax which will be introduced for all air bookings ticketed as from 01 Apirl 2011. The tax is US$30 and is supposed to be used for the upgrading of the airports in Zimbabwe.
I am currently not sure if the new tax will come on top of the already existing Airport Passenger Service Charge of US$20, which is levied on passengers embarking on international flights, and the Departure Tax (domestic flights US$5, international flights US$30 (levied upon ticket issuance)).

Dutch flight tax axed
After being in place for only a year, the flight tax imposed by the Dutch government has been scrapped, officials in the Netherlands announced.
The Dutch government has decided to scrap the flight tax from July 2009 onwards. The abolition of the flight tax is one of the measures by the Dutch government to stimulate the country’s economy during the difficult times the world is currently struggeling with.
The flight tax was introduced on July 1 last year for all passengers who left Holland from a domestic airport - short-haul flights was €11.25, while long-haul passengers were charged €45.
