Colombia Ecuador flights to be considered "domestic*"
*For the purposes of airport charges, exit fees and fuel surcharges
Means a discount of 20% (according to article) on costs from Ecuador to Colombia or from Colombia to Ecuador. http://www.colombiareports.com/trave...all-by-20.html Extract "Flights between the two countries will be treated as "domestic," causing prices to drop by between $50 and $100, following a bilateral agreement between Colombian and Ecuadorian aviation authorities. The price reduction is a result of the removal of international airport tax, which can be up to $70, and the elimination of the fuel surcharge, which is approximately $30." Full details in Spanitch from the Ministerio de Comercio, Industria & Turismo. https://www.mincomercio.gov.co/publi...es.php?id=1857 :cool: |
Excellent. Maybe the next time the Colombian Air Force needs to take out a terrorist camp across the border in Ecuador they can avoid sparking a diplomatic crisis by citing the new "domestic" flight tax policy!

Thanks for the post.
I can just see the justification when the governments double their exit taxes that now your tax is paying for two countries. :eek: Now just get Hugo to join in and Simon Bolivar will smile in his grave |
