AirlineForecasts LLC and the Business Travel Coalition reported in a recent study that current oil prices may force several U.S. airlines to default on obligation to creditors beginning at the end 2008 and early 2009. The study shows that $130 per barrer oil prices will increase yearly airline costs by $30 billion, while airlines will be able to generate only $4 billion in fare increases and incremental fees. The implication is that several large and small airlines will ultimately end up in bankruptcy,and of those, some will be forced to liquidate. |
