Dominicans Pay the Most
Expensive Airline
Tickets
Restrictive offer and
taxes in Dominican
Republic have made
airline tickets became
the most expensive in
the region , affirmed a
research of Listin
Diario published here
Monday.
The 45.5 percent of air
charges belong to every
ticket's taxes payment
emphasized the press
investigation.
Price difference is more
reflected in airline's
ticket to US and Puerto
Rico due to charges
rivalry.
In other non-traditional
destinies, price
difference reaches one
hundred percent if
compared with others
located at a similar
distance, because of
shortage of airline
competition.
That is, a ticket to
Puerto Rico bought in
this capital costs
16.253 pesos (508
dollars) but the same
ticket bought in Puerto
Rico to DR costs 14.452
pesos (451 dollars).
The American Airline
explanation for this
situation is that the
neighbour island does
not pay the 16 percent
of taxes so the
passenger saves about 57
dollars for a flight
which average duration
is of 35 minutes, noted
the press . |
