European Union is going to lower airport charges

The European Union has declared the intention to put under the control size of airport charges. In opinion of the EU officials, supported by many air passengers, the airports overestimate the prices for the services. Frequently, airport and other charges exceed the cost of the air ticket, especially on short intra-European flights. From 25 airports of the world (which are the most expensive in this plan) 15 are in the Europe - though the European airports at all are not world leaders on a level of service. At this time, a long-distance budgetary airline Oasis Hong Kong Airlines has entered unusual for the discounters offer, addressed to 55 year old-and more senior passengers. They have an opportunity to buy the ticket on a route Hong Kong - London for 1270 Hong Kong dollars ($162, 7) in view of charge. The cheapest usual ticket is approximately in one and a half time expensive. The return ticket from London will manage in 1880 Hong Kong dollars. Thus the passenger can take with him for the same price one fellow traveler of any age. It is the cheapest offer on similar routes. The sale of tickets starts on February, 1st, and flights are possible till February, 25th and from April, 15th till May, 31st.
