Airfares on the rise due to Volcano.

According to Travelmole Air fares are to soar in wake of ash crisis :


"Air fares are forecast to rise by more than five per cent this year in the wake of the Icelandic volcanic ash crisis and increasing oil prices.
UK travellers can expect to pay an additional £1.8 billion or £48 each on average, according to figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research....
The study warns that fares are set to rise by 11.5% by 2012, adding £62 to the cost of an average economy flight from London to New York – from £518 to almost £580.


The rises are predicted as carriers attempt to claw back an estimated £1.3 billion in costs due to the ash cloud disruption by the end of last week.
It is believed that up to two thirds of the costs will be borne by European airlines."
