It's tempting to make the government the scapegoat for this, but
international airfares are not fixed by the government. They are fixed
by IATA, which airlines voluntarily join. The whole point of IATA is
to keep internaional fares, and the airlines' profits, artificially
high.

If you don't want to pay the IATA fixed price, you can fly on an
airline that is a non-IATA member. But good luck finding one. Almost
all airlines that have scheduled intercontinental routes have found it
more profitable to join the cartel than to try and compete with it.
