US Airways CEO says the airline will pay $2 billion more for fuel in 2008
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- US Airways chief Doug Parker says fuel costs per passenger have doubled since 2007, and the carrier will pay nearly $2 billion more in fuel in 2008.
Parker told shareholders Wednesday that it's a "severe time" for the entire industry.
He pointed out that the Tempe, Ariz.-based airline will try to recoup some of those costs with its recently announced fees for a second bag, choice seating and other service charges.
