"High oil prices have resulted in fuel cost rises since 2003.
Traditionally fuel costs were less than 15% of airline operational costs;
however this rose to around 35% in 2008 on an industry-wide basis, and
exceeded 40% for carriers with lower labor costs.18 Many airlines were not

substantial. In the first six months of 2008, 25 airlines went out of business,
and the industry was expected to lose US$ 6.1 billion globally." -
