In a highly competitive marketplace (which air travel is), companies can't raise prices to cover increased input costs. Their prices are determined by what consumers are willing to pay relative to what their competitors charge, not what their product costs.

It's one of the Big Lies people have been taught to believe - "if you make things more expensive for them, they'll just raise prices!"
