“The increase in prices for airline tickets is a regular phenomenon that cannot please passengers. The price increase was caused by currency fluctuations and weekly price adjustments, as well as higher fuel prices, ”he said.

As noted by Zotov, a significant part of the ticket price is the airport tax, which differs significantly from domestic and international airports.

“On the whole, recently we have been observing an increase in the price of air travel exceeding the inflation rate,” he added.

Earlier, aviation expert Roman Gusarov, in an interview with the Moscow 24 website, commented on a possible increase in ticket prices in the first quarter of 2020.
