Air
-- Logistics Management, 2/1/2001
Air carriers are doing their best to pass along at least some of their fuel cost increases. In December 2000, average prices for scheduled flights that move cargo fell 0.3%, only slightly offsetting November's 8.1% price hike. A comparison of December 2000 and December 1999 prices shows that shippers had to absorb a 9.1% hike for flying property and a 1.4% increase for flying private mail. Air-courier services, meanwhile, tallied up a 10.3% hike for delivering domestic mail and packages and a 4.7% gain for international delivery. By contrast, the price for flying yourself rose 22.6% in a coach seat and 15.8% in first class.
