@ByERussell United Airlines is unsure whether it can pass on the rapid rise in fuel prices to travellers. Historically, 60% can be priced into higher airfares. “There really is no precedent for what is going on right now,” said CFO Gerry Laderman. $UAL.
@ByERussell United Airlines treasurer Pam Hendry says the carrier aims to pass along 60% of the increase in fuel prices to passengers through higher fares. It will take about a quarter to pass along those additional costs, she added. $UAL.
@ByERussell “You should buy your summer travel now because [fares are] only going up,”@SunCountryAir CEO Jude Bricker advises attendees at #ISTATAmericas. U.S. summer demand is “really strong.” $SNCY.
@ByERussell “We have put out for sale levels of 2019 on many of the routes transatlantic and, in some cases, actually an increase,” says Air France-KLM CEO Smith on the summer 2022. He expects significant “pent-up demand” in the market, barring any new travel restrictions.
@JM_Scindia After deliberation with stakeholders &keeping in view the decline in the #COVID19 caseload, we have decided to resume international travel from Mar 27 onwards. Air Bubble arrangements will also stand revoked thereafter. With this step, I’m confident the sector will reach new heights!.
