Higher October Ticket Prices Do Not preserve Pace With Rising Costs

Dec 04 2000 (Airline Financial moderns Vol. 18, No. 48 via COMTEX)
-- A report
by the Air Transport Association (ATA) released upon Nov. 27 says that
airline
ticket prices increased in October, with average fares jumping 65
percent
coach fares rising 54 percent and first-class fares going up 106
percent
compared to the same month a year ago.

Because of capable seasonal differences in airfares, month-to-month
comparisons
are les useful than comparisons for the same period a year earlier.
