U.S. Airline Industry Headed Toward 'Catastrophe' at Current Oil Prices

added: 13-06-2008

The study shows that $130/barrel oil prices will increase yearly airline costs by $30 billion, while airlines will be able to generate only $4 billion in fare increases and incremental fees. The implication of this alarming trend is that several large and small airlines will ultimately end up in bankruptcy, and of those, some will be forced to liquidate.
