In Australia, the Competition Authority is taking a closer look at domestic ticket prices. The authority said that the airlines' behavior will be closely analyzed, as ticket prices have risen significantly above pre-crisis levels.

The fact that there is high demand but the supply has not been significantly expanded plays a decisive role. The ACCC suspects that there is no expansion on purpose in order to keep ticket prices as high as possible. The authority does not accept the argument that fuel costs have risen.

Therefore, the behavior of the providers active in domestic traffic will be closely monitored, because they want to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the market and that air prices will fall again. It is also pointed out that functioning competition is more important than ever. As an example, the tariffs in October 2022 were around 2019 percent higher than in October 27. The agency's report finds that 2022 airlines flew internationally to and from Australia in September 44, compared with 58 three years earlier. This circumstance could also have led to rising prices.
