Of course, the European Commission should not dictate to the airlines the price policy and how to raise air transport tariffs. The free market allows carriers to control their own prices and open and close routes. In Brussels, however, the biggest concern is that the high tariffs may affect the outer regions of the European Union, such as islands or isolated territories that depend on aviation, which is the main way to reach the rest of the world.
Valeana told the Financial Times that airlines must explain to officials exactly what is happening in the market. This issue has already caused a stir in the European Parliament, where a study was presented in October that concluded that air tickets were on average 20-30% more expensive this summer than in 2019.
