Historical trends in costs are reviewed. By adopting fuel conservation policies, such as renewal of the jet fleet, adaptation of flight operation, and modification of air traffic control procedures, the airlines can limit the effect of expected fuel price increases. In parallel, productivity gains should keep at a constant level all the other costs of airline operations. Under the above conditions, growth of the industry seems to be certain even if fuel prices increase at a rate of 2 to 4% per year above inflation during the next 20 years.
