The worry is that the savings / subsidies have to come from somewhere:

Competition in the air continues. Onur Air sells plane tickets for less than a cab fare.


After Pegasus announced its winter schedule rates, Onur Air joined the competition and sold 2,500 tickets for only 1 YTL.

Rivalry between airlines has caused plane ticket prices to drop down to unbelievable amounts. Yesterday, Onur Air announced it is selling 2,500 plane tickets for flights between September 25 and October 18 (Ramadan) for only 1 YTL. In about an hour, most of the tickets were sold. Even people who don't have any plans for the Ramadan month bought tickets. Meanwhile, bus companies have reacted against the prices by saying: "This is economical suicide. Airlines will go into bankruptcy if they keep lowering their prices."
