Maybe — with most US airlines looking at initially cutting ALL services — domestic and international by more than 30 % — the federal government is considering letting the airlines keep the government and airport fees included with every ticket sale — and maybe some of the taxes on tickets too — could be a substantial amount (or gift)… as taxes and fees can add up to 20% or more for the average air travel ticket. With the first part of the year normally being a very slow travel time, many carriers could make more $$$’s by not flying!!!
