The CEO of Iran Air, in controversial remarks, announced that airfare prices must increase and no matter how expensive they become, it is still not enough. These statements come at a time when the operational costs of airlines have risen sharply.

Rising Costs and the Necessity of Price Change

He stated that the cost of fuel has increased from 600 tomans per liter to 60,600 tomans, emphasizing that this price increase is by no means negligible. He added: "In such circumstances, airlines must be able to cover their costs in order to continue their operations."

Consequences of Fare Increases

The CEO of Iran Air also noted that with the increase in ticket prices, air travel may become more difficult for some individuals, but at the same time emphasized that this price increase will benefit the aviation industry and improve services. According to him, covering the high costs of fuel and other operational expenses can only be achieved through an increase in ticket prices.

These remarks come at a time when many passengers are criticizing the high airfare prices and seeking ways to reduce their travel costs. Meanwhile, aviation industry experts believe that new solutions should be considered to reduce costs and improve services.

In this context, the Iranian aviation industry faces numerous challenges that could impact air travel and people's access to these services. The CEO of Iran Air, pointing to these challenges, called for serious attention from officials to this issue.
