Fly Goa-Bom for Rs.500 + 545% tax or Goa-Delhi Rs.2000 + 175% Tax Funny Airlines’ Fare structure or Funny airlines Taxes/Charges
It’s like you are paying for flight seat plus you pay separately for the petrol/fuel. When there is a rise in petrol, other transport services don’t charge us separately for fuel or petrol. Eg. Should there be a rise in the petrol cost, the bus operators (Goa-Bombay) will include the rise say Rs.100 in the ticket and don’t charge Rs.100 separately as fuel surcharge. But when it come to Airlines it is like we are paying taxes not 12.5% or not 20% but upto 545% It is like saying Rs.500 fare + 545% Taxes Check this out: To fly Goa to Delhi (after 15th July) up to 4 airlines offer fare of Rs.2000+ Tax And how much is that Tax? Well, its about 3,400 which would include: 225 Passenger Service Tax 150 Congestion Charges 150 other charges like booking charges, transaction charges etc 2,900 Fuel surcharges (Fuel Surcharge is STD charge by all, last year, it was about Rs.750) Fuel surcharge goes up by Rs.500 at a time on long-haul sectors like Goa-Delhi and by Rs.300 on short haul sectors like Goa-Bombay. At this rate, by the end of year 2009, it looks like the taxes would be 1000% i.e. Goa-Bombay would be Rs.500 + 1000% tax = 500 + 5000= 5500 To Delhi foll airlines offer fares of Rs.2000 (plus taxes) Spice Jet Dep. 17.50 Goair 15.30 Jetlite 15.15 Indigo 17.40 Where as Kingfisher Rs.3000 Dep 15.45 Indian 3100 Dep 07.00 Hwereas, Goa to Bombay around Rs.500 But taxes about Rs.2725 Bon yoyage Safe journey, safe flying Shub yatra aap ki yatra sukad rahe Danyawaad.
