Airlines Adjust Routes and Prices as Fuel Markets Stay Unstable

Airlines around the world are adjusting to sharp swings in oil and jet fuel prices.

Industry analysts say the instability is making it harder for carriers to predict costs, especially during a busy travel period.

In response, some airlines are removing less profitable flights, increasing fares, and charging more for optional services.

Travel experts say passengers may continue to face expensive tickets and reduced flexibility until fuel markets become calmer.
