Have to wonder about that now. Planes are expensive. In countries in which the standard of living is lower, tickets may cost less, but the cost of: The aircraft and fuel, pretty much the same across the planet. So, how do those planes in Third-World Countries (talking about the local airline) fly? Old planes? skip on maintenance?
