The reaction of the low-cost airlines to the planned minimum ticket prices was not long in coming. Probably out of spite, a particularly large number of tickets for 9,99 euros and below are thrown on the market.
The Austrian government announced earlier this week that a minimum price of around 40 euros will have to be charged for air tickets in the future. Obviously, under the guise of environmental protection, this is directed against the business practices of Wizzair, but also Lauda. These are now reacting and there are countless 9,99 euro tickets on the market.
The Ryanair subsidiary even advertises in which it is claimed that the environment minister wants to protect airlines with high ticket prices and claims that Lauda would fight for cheap tickets. Wizzair is less boisterous, but explicitly refers to the government's announcement in a press release. That's why they quickly started a “super sale” with tickets from 9,99 euros.
