More airport taxes... now in Dubai !

Quote from a local newspaper in the Persian Gulf.

DUBAI: passengers flying out of Dubai International Airport must
now pay a total of Dh280 ($75) in taxes following the introduction of
an added tax of Dh30 ($8.20). Departing passengers already pay
a Dh130 fuel surcharge, a distribution tax of Dh100 and an
insurance surcharge of Dh20.

A worldwide phenomenon these days,
airlines are screwed for cheaper and cheaper fares,
and the local authorities (Airports, Governments Bodies, etc.)
take up the slack and pile up the charges.
