The Australian national carrier Qantas announced Monday, April 28, 2008 that it will raise international and domestic airfares and suspend its share buyback program because of rising fuel prices. However, the airline said it remains confident of meeting its forecast for a lift in pretax profit for the year to mid-2008 of at least 40 percent from the previous year. (AP Photo/Mark Baker,File)
