    Airline B pay $35 million in tax

    Explanation:

    Tax is charged on profit before tax

    Profit before Tax (PBT) = EBIT - interest expenses

    Tax occurred = PBT * Tax rate

    Airline B has no debt, then:

    PBT = ($100 million - 0) = $100 million; and

    Tax occurred = $100 million * 35% = $35 million

    Airline A has interest expenses of $20 million, then:

    PBT = $100 million - $20 million = $80 million; and

    Tax occurred = $80 million * 35% = $28 million
