Low-Cost US Airlines Seeking Handouts from Trump Admin

A trade group representing low-cost airlines is asking the Trump administration for $2.5 billion in handouts to offset some of the cost of aviation fuel, which has surged because of the illegal US war against the people of Iran being fought on behalf of Israel. In addition, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary warns that some of Europe's airlines will go out of business if jet fuel prices remain elevated.

"Jet fuel prices climbed to about $4.10 a gallon in North America at the end of last week, an increase of about 88% from the same time last year, forcing many airlines to raise ticket prices.

The trade group -- which also represents Allegiant Air, Avelo Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Sun Country Airlines -- also has been seeking emergency measures from Congress. The group wants lawmakers to temporarily waive a 7.5% excise tax and $5.30 per-segment fee that airlines are required to pay per passenger."

"President Plane Crash" and the "Crime Minister" of Israel, smugly screwing over the hardworking American taxpayer while destroying the aviation industry.
