@airlinewriter Because of higher fees, airlines get only 75% of revenue from fares these days, down from 89% in 2000.

@airlinewriter If you can avoid fees, the average domestic airfare adjusted for inflation is down 27% since 1999 (but up 3% from the 2009 trough).

@hharteveldt “If there are two places we need to get rid of queues, it’s post offices and #airports” – Paul Griffiths, Dubai Airports Authority #IATAWPS.

@justinbachman One lesson of $UAL vs. $JBLU 3Q calls: No cost guide is worse than one analysts don’t believe, based on stock reactions. -12 pct v +2 pct.
