The prices of plane tickets will not increase after the reopening of European airspace, said top industry personnel in the UAE. However, several airlines are charging two to three times the normal fare to European cities. For example, the ticket for KLM is costing Dh10,125 while another one for Lufthansa is Dh7,050.
Meanwhile, Emirates President Tim Clark said the carrier will try to maintain prices after the situation gets better. “We’re not here to take advantage of the situation… We’ve always managed to get back in good shape,” he said.
Etihad Airway’s bookings could not be made online. According to a statement issued by the carrier yesterday, the airline has resumed flights but its not fully operational yet.
