Advertiser Staff
American Airlines increased roundtrip fares between more than 700 cities and Hawai'i by $54 today, according to Bloomberg News.The fare hike came as American increased roundtrip fares by $20 for other U.S. flights to offsett record jet fuel prices, the news service said.
The boost is the seventh by a major U.S. airline since Sept. 1, Bloomberg News reported. A $14-a-barrel rise since August in crude oil, from which jet fuel is refined, will add more than $1 billion to American's annual fuel bill, the carrier said today.
