FlyPelican airline has been advised by their fuel supplier that their fuel costs will be going up 70c a litre effective immediately. Such an increase, if able to be passed on, would force airline ticket costs up by $30 to $40 a passenger. Again, what practical action has the government taken over the past week to protect regional airline passengers from price spikes due to fuel gouging?
