Conferencing Technology Helps Business Face Airline Cuts and Fare Increases

Tried to book a flight to or from a smaller regional airport lately? US Airlines are cutting flights across the board in an attempt to reduce the already huge losses which may be as high as 12 billion collectively this year. Not Since 2002 has the airline industry been hit this hard. Reducing service by as much as 50% to smaller regional airports is just one strategy the airlines are enacting, raising the costs of tickets is another. Competition for fewer seats will also add to making a bad situation worse.
