The most people don´t fly very often, with exception of businessmen, and those will be paid by their companies. And I don´t think that anyone would stop to fly in holidays only because of a little higher taxes.

Balderdash, higher prices always have an impact, the question is whether the impact is high, low, etc. Double the price of gasoline and consumers will change. Here in the US when the price of gasoline topped 3.00 habits changed.
