The basic problem is that airplane fuel (kerosene) is untaxed due to an international treaty dating back decades. It's very hard to change international treaties, especially when a politically powerful industry has a stake in them not changing.

I knew it was untaxed, but didn't know it was an international treaty...

But what would be the consequences of not respecting that treaty, I guess there would be more than a little genocide of something
