Airline tickets
The price of airline tickets has risen due to a number of factors, including the lack of competition, but the pandemic has also made the situation worse. This is because airlines need to recover the money they lost during the pandemic.

From January to October this year the search for passages domestic airlines increased by 25% compared to the same period last year.
