According to IATA, airfares declined by 5% in the first eight months of the year? Why? Declining oil prices. At last, good news for airline passengers.

Airline passengers deserve better and politicians should restore some public confidence in themselves by actually stopping talking about it and start pressurising airlines to commit to reductions.

The airlines were fast enough to raise fuel surcharges when they were hit by rising costs; they are showing themselves reluctant to drop them now prices for aviation fuel are dropping.

A little while go Thomson flew one engine on one flight on one plane on a mixture of Jet A1 fuel and waste cooking oil as opposed to normal aviation fuel. It was a test to see the effect but you would have thought from the reactions that they had almost single-handedly caused the starvation of millions by using a resource that stopped food crops being grown.
