I see you got as far as supply and demand in your economics course before you zoned out. Competition specifically 3 competitors has been shown to apply sufficient pressure to stop price gouging. Airlines profit margins are at 8% which indicates sufficient completion.

Too bad the regulations to support competition and disband oligarchies is so pathetically weak.

There is not sufficient regulation to support the hypothesis of competition.
8% profit margin? That’s… Absolutely abysmal. How the heck do they stay afloat?

That’s a super young market by airline standards, still settling in. Not comparable
