Antitrust Commissioner Michal Halperin has told Chairman Eitan Cabel of the Knesset Economics Committee that she will open an investigation into the suspected fixing of prices of flights to Uman in the Ukraine for Rosh Hashana, when Breslover hasidim and others go to pray at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.
Cabel told Radio Kol Berama, "With all due respect to supply and demand, there is no justification for an increase of hundreds of percent." He concluded, "If we succeed, prices will drop significantly next year."
