About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of high oil prices on U.S. and non-U.S. airlines, highlighting the concerns of international carriers regarding fuel costs.

U.S. airlines may be cautiously optimistic about the effect that high oil prices will have on their bottom line, but not so much executives at non-U.S. airlines. Fuel is really expensive out there for them. Jon Ostrower, Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder talk about the real concerns those companies have about covering their costs.
