Gasoline subsidy in the name of people for the sake of airlines

According to the exclusive report of “Energy Press”, widespread abuses of fuel subsidies have once again become the main subject of the media and public opinion.

Cheap energy and fuel subsidy have become the most important support method of the government and a wide range of people and institutions directly or indirectly benefit from fuel subsidy.
Among these sectors, we can mention transportation, industries, agriculture, and the household sector, where the fuel subsidy affects the final price of their products and services.
gasoline subsidy; From agriculture to industry and transportation
According to the latest official statistics, the largest consumption of energy subsidies is related to power plants with a share of 33%. After that, the household sector with 24%, industry with 21%, transportation with 15% and agriculture with 3% are respectively the biggest consumers of energy subsidies.
fuel subsidy in the transportation sector, to reduce costs and thus reduce fares in the air and ground fleet; In the agricultural sector, to reduce the production costs of agricultural products in the use of tractors and agricultural machinery; It is used in industries to reduce production costs in energy-intensive industries such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals.
For a long time, private cars also benefited from gasoline subsidies, and with the implementation of the subsidy targeting plan, these subsidies were paid in cash to the heads of households.
Households are the main victims of the removal of energy subsidies
For years, governments have put plans to eliminate energy subsidies, but the blame has always been pointed at households and the pressure to eliminate energy subsidies, especially gasoline.
According to the law of the 7th development plan, the government is obliged to distribute energy subsidies fairly in order to increase economic productivity and improve the living conditions of households.
However, some institutions, including airlines, have greatly increased ticket prices by abusing these subsidies. It seems that instead of passing on the benefits of the subsidy to the consumer, these companies pocket it.
The sale of plane tickets is 70 dollars more than the international prices
According to the head of the trade union of travel service offices: domestic airlines receive 4 billion dollars in fuel subsidies from the government every year, but not only have they not reduced the price of tickets, but they sell 70 dollars more than the international price to people.
