| If a U.S. airline collected $16,400 in fares and fees for a typical (hypothetical) domestic flight, just $164 of that would become profit, according to an analysis by US Airways and Oliver Wyman for the Wall Street Journal. In other words, if there were 100 passengers, the total profit would be represented by just one traveler's fare and fees. Fuel costs would eat up the revenue from 29 passengers; salaries, 20; ownership costs, 16; government fees and taxes, 14; maintenance, 11; and "other" costs, 9. |
