Qantas: "Yield in 1H12 is expected to be higher than 1H11. The Group expects to increase capacity in 1H12 by 8% compared to 1H11 whilst maintaining flexibility and as at 22 August 2011, underlying fuel costs for 1H12 are estimated to increase by circa AUD500 million from AUD1.7 billion in 1H11 to circa AUD2.2 billion due to higher forward market jet fuel prices and increased flying. Fuel surcharges, fare increases and hedging are being used to mitigate the impact of fuel price rises but are unlikely to fully offset the cost increase," Company statement.
