Because the airlines are not going to reduce the increased fare
The cost of fuel for aircraft has almost doubled due to the war in Iran, leading to significant increases in ticket prices. However, analysts estimate that airlines will not reduce fares even if fuel prices decline. United CEOs, Scott Kirby, and American Airlines, Robert Isom, confirmed on Wednesday and Thursday respectively that passengers are already paying 20% more per mile, while reservations remain at high levels. Southwest CEO Andrew Waterson reported five ticket increases this year. This attitude led to criticism by Members such as Richie Torres, who denounced the «corporate greed».
