Eli5 why airlines tickets from country to country are 20 euro when taxi from town to town is 20
In: Economics
Airlines can’t afford to sell all their tickets that cheap. But the difference between flying an empty seat and a full seat is pretty small – a tiny difference in fuel costs. If you sell that seat, even for €1 that’s a euro more than you would otherwise receive. And you might sell a coffee or something to that customer.
A taxi isn’t in the same position. It can sit and park until a paying passenger comes along.
