The international PST will increase by 4%, whereas historic inflation here was over 8% at one point. Even AOT has costs and bills that must be paid and they are not immune to inflation. I suppose they could have increased the landing charges, that would have filtered thru to ticket costs but what other options do they have for dealing with increased costs!
