London | Airfares are rising at more than twice the rate of inflation, as carriers cash in on surging demand for travel that has defied broader economic headwinds.
Average ticket prices on more than 600 of the world’s most popular routes rose at an annual rate of 27.4 per cent in February, the latest month for which data is available, marking the fifteenth consecutive month of double-digit growth, according to a Financial Times analysis of data from aviation company Cirium.
