Mango absorbs tax rise
Low cost airline Mango has announced that it will absorb the much debated increase in third party passenger charges until the end of the year. The increase in taxes, announced last week, has set the aviation industry ablaze with discontent — prompting some airlines to switch to publishing tax exclusive fares, further adding to consumer confusion.
Mango CEO Nico Bezuidenhout says that Mango will not respond to the increase in taxes with the same knee-jerk reaction, but rather approach it laterally.
“Due to the fact that Mango has the lowest cost base in the industry, it is possible for the airline to absorb the increased charges and pass on the benefit to our Guests.”
Bezuidenhout says that Mango will not increase taxes charged until the New Year, rather absorbing the increase in its already affordable fares — quoted inclusive of all third party charges; available for travel until 31 December this year.
“It is still possible to fly domestically on Mango from less than R200, all inclusive,” says Bezuidenhout. “And our most expensive tickets remain under R1000 per flight.”
"Again, while our competitors engage in a hue and cry, Mango will maintain its focus and deliver to our Guests."
