Just to add to that, go to Travelocity or similar and price an international ticket - you will find the same base fare between a couple of the airlines, but the taxes are different - has to do with where the airline is based. But as stated, the airlines do not get these taxes.
Even cheap airlines in Europe will surprise you - Ryan Air has some free tickets up for grabs on a regular basis, but it can add up with the taxes that are charged. You read that right - taxes on a zero dollar/pound ticket.
