0:00Fuel generally accounts for about 25 to

0:0330% of operating costs for an airline.

0:06If the price of fuel is impacted, so is

0:08the airlines bottom line.

0:10>> So that we're talking literally hundreds

0:12of millions into the billions of dollars

0:13collectively as as a US industry and

0:15extra fuel.

0:16>> And you've probably noticed how airlines

0:18have passed many of those costs on to

0:20consumers.

0:21>> They upped bag fees, which will not come

0:23back down, by the way. They are

1:05profit per seat, many airlines make much

1:07more money off business class and

1:09particularly premium economy passengers.

1:12>> Before the 1978 airline deregulation

1:15act, flying was firmly for the wealthy.

1:18Since then, the introduction of lowcost

1:20airlines has made travel cheaper and

1:23more accessible for many. But these

1:25smaller, more affordable carriers don't

1:28have the same resources as big companies

1:30for offsetting fuel costs.
