The causes
– “With these tariffs, air transport is turning into a luxury for the rich – warns the president of Assoutenti Furio Truzzi -. The increase in energy costs and the increase in
fuel prices
it was entirely passed on to final consumers through an abnormal increase in tickets, which increased by 160% in July compared to 2021 “.
