Airlines Hike Fees Amid Fuel Crisis

Delta CEO Ed Bastian warned that the fuel price surge will likely reshape the airline industry, potentially accelerating structural changes and mergers.

Southwest Airlines has raised its checked bag fees by ten dollars, less than a year after ending its famous 'bags fly free' policy.

The price hikes come despite strong passenger demand, as carriers struggle to maintain margins against volatile energy markets.

Experts predict that even with a ceasefire in place, it could take months for fuel supplies and pricing to stabilize for consumers.
