Fewer Americans fly as fuel costs push up fares
US airlines reported fewer passengers in the third quarter as fares rose on fuel costs. Executives said most travelers are still paying the higher prices. Separately, some planes are being scrapped years early because engines and parts are in short supply.
Why it matters
Travelers pay more for flights as jet fuel prices follow crude oil higher.
Background
Fuel is one of airlines' biggest costs. Engine shortages have limited how many planes airlines can fly.
