Is it permissible to take an increase on the price of an airline ticket, with the company only adding its normal profit?

You are not permitted to take the excess amount for yourself. Rather, the full price of the ticket must be paid to the company. Your status is that of an agent, and any increase gained by an agent reverts to their principal. Your taking of this increase is considered treachery and an unlawful consumption of people's wealth.
