A.Heavy pressure on airlines B.airlines'worrying situation and future C.inevitable fuel costs D.impossible cheap flights E.low-cost airlines'ways to keep fares low F.Ryanair's new policy |
British travelers already thinking twice about flying to Europe this summer because of the falling value of the pound received more bad news yesterday with indications that the era of cheap flights may be drawing to an end.
77.A
Soaring fuel costs have put airlines under financial pressure which,analysts say,will inevitably be passed on to passengers through increased ticket prices,fuel surcharges and baggage check-in fees.The warnings follow a wave of air line bankruptcies in the UK and the US,and the pressure on the airlines has been most acute this year as the global oil price rose from 80 a barrel to nearly 120.
78.F
Ryanair became the latest airline to pass that pain on to customers yesterday when it raised the cost of putting bags in the hold and checking in at airports.Passengers on Europe's largest budget carrier will have to pay 16 a bag and 8 to use a check-in desk on return journeys from Monday.Fuel accounts for a quarter of airline budgets and the resulting financial,squeeze has triggered warnings that major carriers could go to the wall or be forced to merge with rivals to survive.Ryanair is trying to play down its latest charge increases because it is the second time Ryanair has raised baggage costs this year to cover the rising cost of fuel,which is expected to account for nearly half of its costs next year.
79.E
"Their earnings are greatly affected by the fuel price,so they need to do everything they possibly can to alleviate that cost pressure,"said Andrew Lohbenberg,an analyst at ABN Amro,"But low-cost airlines refuse to impose them,instead preferring to cover their costs through add-on charges for checking in,in-flight food and car rental deals."
80.B
However,industry experts say higher bag check-in costs are inevitable if the cost of oil stays around its current level.Ryanair and low-cost rival Easy Jet will try to leave fares untouched,because cheap tickets are the key part of a no-frills(不提供不必要的服务)business model that uses bargain fares to pack passengers on to airplanes and then making profits from them with add-ons (附加物)."They cannot afford to raise fares.It would break their model."said Strickland."Occupancy would fall and they will not make enough money to cover increased fuel costs."Ryanair has already warned that profits could fall by as much as 50% this year due to the fuel situation,while Easy Jet shares were hit recently when it said it would miss its full-year profit targets if fuel stayed at the current price.
The threat to the industry is at its most serious since the incident of September 11,analysts have warned.The global airline industry is barely profitable.
