omooba969:
Air flight ✈️ is the safest mode of transport.

Mindlog:
No, just for the experience of the ferry crossing and when travelling Friday night straight from my workplace near London bridge, carry my travelling bag and take a train from London bridge station to Victoria coach station and hop into Flixbus. 😂😂😂

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.

Mindlog:
Really crazy and affecting the volume of air travel in Nigeria.

I monthly fly London-Edinburgh, total cost for a ticket is less than N60k, for a one hour, fifteen minutes one-way flight.

WantsandMore:
Europe has economic flight now plus there’s crazy traffic to and fro. If airlines in Nigeria with low traffic and expensive fuel charge less how would they break even?

Kobicove:
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

Mindlog:
The huge taxation on tickets makes no sense.

https://x.com/BeeTheLight_/status/1985410591654363228?t=ecqzBE-r8tvEqhQFJu97pw&s=19[/quote]The high plane ticket prices can also be influenced by departure and arrival airport taxes, as well as other fees.

These taxes and fees are levied by governments and airports and are passed on to the passenger in the final ticket price. They can include government taxes, security fees, and customs user fees.

International air travel taxes charged by the Nigerian government are among the highest in Africa, and this is why it's sometimes cheaper to travel out from some airports, like the Republic of Benin, than the Nigerian airports.

Sin taxes are levied on activities deemed as vices. Stuff like gambling, alcohol and tobacco.
Is air travel a vice?

Are you aware that flight tickets from one country to another in European countries are less than flights from one state to another in Nigeria?
