To Counteract Rising Fuel Costs, Delta Air Lines Considers Raising the Ticket Fare
Delta Air Lines is considering raising ticket prices in order to offset rising global fuel costs and economic inflation.
Highlights
- Airlines in the United States have little option but to pass on fuel price increases to passengers in the form of higher fares, but they are optimistic that revived interest in travel will help them get through the next few months.
- Fuel is the second-largest expense for US airlines after personnel expenses.
- Delta Air Lines expects a profit in March (recovering to 78 percent of 2019 levels), as well as a quarterly pre-tax loss, thanks to the willingness of customers to spend on plane tickets. Similar thoughts are shared by other airlines in the nation.
