FRESH CALLS TO REDUCE AIRLINE AND FERRY FARES

Ticket prices for air and maritime travel should be slashed, the Balearic Minister for  Development  Ana Pastor said yesterday.Fuel prices have fallen  progressively over  the last few months and with the price of a crude now at  a new record low  for  the last six years  of 45 dollars, Pastor feels it is only  “fair and necessary” that airline  and nautical transport authorities ensure prices for their services are also reduced.
“We will speak with directors  from both sectors so we can come to an agreement, but it’s important that the public benefits from  this decline in prices in the near future, as it has not happened for a while.”
“With crude prices at record low levels, prices should reflect the country’s current economical situation,” Pastor added.
