Gov't authorizes 8% increase on domestic airfares

The Government authorized an average increase of 8 percent on domestic airfares, which will come into effect from tomorrow. The Transport Secretary motioned the resolution which was published today in the Official Gazette.

This adjustment comes in addition to domestic airfares two months ago.

“It became necessary to authorize new rates on airfares, to guarantee better public service in the commercial aviation sector,” the resolution indicated.
