What happened
Aussie airlines are calling on the government and airports to regulate soaring fees on regional routes. Major carriers and regional operators have suspended several key routes due to weak demand and high charges, which include security and takeoff and landing taxes. These fees are reported to be pushing up domestic fares.
Why it matters
The high cost of flying in and out of regional airports, many run by localized monopolies, is threatening the viability of regional routes. The carriers argue that government and airport charges must be regulated to prevent further service losses.
