Regarding airlines and the rapidly increase in the cost of fuel, there was an interesting wire service news article a couple of days ago.
Eight years ago, 15 percent of the price of an airplane ticket went to pay for jet fuel; now, it is 40 percent, according to the Air Transport Association.
If fuel costs did not increase further, which is not likely, U.S. airlines will spend $61.2 billion this year on jet fuel, which is more than five times what they spent in 2002, when travel fell sharply after the September 2001 terror attacks.
Fuel costs are already up 84 percent this year compared to last year. A Boeing 737 takes about 7,000 gallons and a 747 takes as much as 60,000 gallons.
Airlines are raising fares and adding surcharges and fees as fast as they can to offset the higher costs, but at a certain point, passengers stay home. That is why the carriers are looking for any new savings they can find.
"Our fleet is over 500 airplanes," Beth Harbin, a Southwest spokeswoman, said. "If you can make a difference on one airplane on one flight, and multiply that by 500, in this day and age that is significant."
Although airlines have tried fuel-saving measures for years, they attacked the problem with renewed urgency when oil passed $100 a barrel earlier this year. Now, all airlines are urging employees to suggest ways, large and small, to cut fuel usage.
Some airlines are retiring old an inefficient aircrat. Northwest's Airbus A330 long-range jets use 38 percent less fuel than the DC-10s they replaced, and the Airbus A319 medium-range planes are 27 percent more efficient than DC-9s.
