Welcome to modern air travel 😂 Sometimes the “taxes and fees” cost more than the actual ticket. It’s basically the government, airport, and airline all taking their slice before you even board. 45 Likes |

This is probably a fake ticket, if it's not then show us the name of the airline. Alternatively it could be that this is just an extract from the flight ticket which does not show the whole story  10 Likes 1 Share |

It's government imposed tax. Dangote once said the landing cost of Cement was 7,500 that the extra on the price is government imposed tax. Same thing with financial transactions. You make deposit to your account there are charges, you make withdrawals charges follow. Even if you no do any transaction at all you go still receive debit alert at the end of the month. Na the government of the day style be that. 2 Likes

The taxes you see there are called " Sin taxes" This is usually imposed on goods and services considered to be luxury or imposed to curb the consumption of certain goods or services. Worldwide, flight services is considered as a luxury services and government around the world imposes higher taxes on flights departing from their territories. 4 Likes 1 Share |

You will find peace when you recalibrate the terminologies: TAXES here refer to costs of operation outside the plane or airline Tickets refer to the airline gross revenue Taxes cover operation costs such as hanger, tarmac, ATC, Lounges (Arrival/Departure Halls). It also covers services such as luggage tracks.In fact all infrastructures that relate to the flight. 3 Likes 1 Share |
