The price of airline tickets will go up "without doubt" as fuel costs rise, an air industry boss has warned, APA reports citing BBC.
Oil prices have jumped as economies recover from the Covid pandemic and due to the war in Ukraine.
These costs will be passed on to consumers, Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), said.
The ex-British Airways boss also said Heathrow Airport "should have prepared better" to avoid recent disruption.
But Heathrow said Mr Walsh's comments were "ill-informed".
Holidaymakers need to be prepared for the cost of flights to go up, Mr Walsh told the BBC Sunday Morning programme.
"Flying will be more expensive for consumers, without doubt", he said, adding that the "high price of oil" will be "reflected in higher ticket prices".
