(Carriers) cannot raise fares ordsprog

(Carriers) cannot raise fares to accommodate the growth in fuel prices for the sheer fact that there are limitations to what a customer will pay for travel.

David Castelveter

The only way these guys can escape higher fuel prices is by raising fares. The industry is working hard to raise prices. And so far they have been successful.

The painful reality for passenger carriers is that the domestic market has been unwilling to accept fares that reflect high fuel prices.

Low-fare carriers cannot offer those $39 fares forever. Eventually, they are going to have to raise fares to offset rising costs.

We've got more seats that are filled and we're getting higher fares for them. That's your best case scenario. If fuel was at $40 a barrel, we could be minting money right now. In 12 months we'll be talking about the problems with the low-cost carriers, not the (old line) carriers.

In spite of rising costs and the carriers' desire to raise fares to cover those costs, there's going to be some real difficulty in accomplishing that. It does not look like demand is firming up at all. And therefore I see downward pressure on prices.

The fares are never going to go back up to where they were. The shrinking of networks will not allow them to raise fares back where they were. The low cost carriers will be the check on that.

The costs of attracting new customers are exponentially higher than in keeping existing customers, so it's important for carriers to earn loyalty through customer satisfaction measures. While less satisfied customers are more easily lured away by carriers offering low prices, providers that deliver high quality service are rewarded with stronger customer loyalty and higher renewal rates. Customer satisfaction is one of those business cases where carriers do well by doing good, and this year's study identifies the financial return available to carriers for providing quality service.

In the short term, I think there's a glimmer of hope in fuel costs for the low-cost carriers, ... Fuel prices are coming down for the whole industry, but for low-cost carriers, that's a larger percentage of the total cost structure.

The big carriers are competing much more aggressively now price-wise -- allocating seats to win as much traffic from small carriers as they can. Then, of course, jet fuel prices did hurt everybody last year.

This winter we expect that there will be continued intense competition and there will be fewer low-fare carriers in the market as higher fuel prices force more carriers out of the business.

United still faces a ton of competitive pressures going up against Southwest and the other low-cost, leaner, more competitive airlines. United and the other carriers still face high jet-fuel prices. That takes up a large chunk of their costs. They have cut so many costs since they went into bankruptcy. They cannot eliminate many more costs. Over time, fares will have to go up.

We are now at a critical point for the industry in terms of fuel prices. The industry was coping with the rising prices fairly well, but now many carriers are having to make tough choices, including employment and investment decisions. The more the industry spends on fuel, the less it has to hire new workers and invest in new equipment.
