'Quite a few airports have already informed the carriers that fuel is going to become more expensive, but we decided to keep our flight fares the same for the time being, so our customers haven’t felt the price increase yet,’ Aviaprad Airline’s Air Transportation Director Nadezhda Azarina says.

Ms Azarina reports ticket prices are to remain the same until the end of the week. It is possible, however, that prices may go up as soon as Monday.

A price increase is expected in December due to aviation kerosene growing 12%-14% more costly. This may lead to the overall price increase of something like 35%.
