The fact that the reduction of flights due to the pandemic was reflected as a raise to the citizens brought about reactions. The government, which prides itself on building airports all over Turkey with the slogan "The airline has become the way of the people", resists not interfering with the exorbitant price hikes of THY.
FLIGHTS REDUCED, TICKET PRICES SOAR
The high ticket prices of Turkish Airlines (THY) and its sub-brand AnadoluJet draw reactions. The reduction of flights by Turkish Airlines and AnadoluJet due to the pandemic caused ticket prices to increase more than inflation. AnadoluJet's Istanbul-Bodrum flight ticket ranges from 874 TL to 1,764 TL. The tickets of AnadoluJet, a sub-brand of Turkish Airlines, for the connecting flight from Istanbul to Bodrum with a connecting flight from Istanbul are sold between 874 liras and 1,764 liras. Turkish Airlines' Istanbul-Antalya ticket prices are between 489 liras and 862 liras.
TURKISH AIRLINES DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE MINISTRY'S CEILING PRICE IMPLEMENTATION
This ticket policy of Turkish Airlines and AnadoluJet, which does not comply with the ceiling price application determined by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, is getting reaction. Passengers cannot understand why the ticket prices are so high, and they want the high ticket prices to be lowered as soon as possible. The silent attitude of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure against THY's policy of hike also draws criticism.
