In what could be the ultimate cost-cutting move by airlines buffeted by sky-high fuel prices, US Airways Group said it will eliminate free snacks in coach class on all its domestic flights starting June 1st.
US Airways also said it has matched last week's fare hikes by United Airlines, AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and Delta Air Lines Inc. The increases are from $10 to $60 per round trip and vary based on the length of the flight.
US Airways spokesman Morgan Durrant said the move to cut free snacks was needed to save money in a time of extremely high fuel costs. The price of jet fuel has soared this year with crude oil prices in the $130-per-barrel range.
The airline will still provide complimentary soft drinks.
