La hausse des prix du gaz sont de mauvaises nouvelles pour les voyageurs et le président américain (Rising gas prices bad news for travelers and US President)
Rising fuel costs in the immediate future will have an adverse impact on both drive and fly destinations for business and leisure travelers, predict various sources.
"[R]ising jet fuel costs put significant cost pressure on the airline industry," Steve Lott, vice present of communications for Airlines for America, told CBSDC. "Regarding fuel, it was the airline industry's largest expense in 2011, representing 35% of total costs."
This comes at a particularly vulnerable time for travelers -- when spring breakers and summer vacation planners are looking ahead to make their plans.
Cynthia Brough, director of public relations for AAA, said that as jet fuel costs go up in tandem with gas prices, consumers can expect to pay more for their flight.
