Fuel and Airlines Face Holiday Travel Crunch
Fuel shortages and holiday demand push U S carriers toward a frazzled Christmas. Airlines warn many flights may show empty seats as travelers book multiple reservations while no shows rise. The end of a 44 day TWA strike adds flights, but fuel and economy fears persist. Continentals plan to require backup tickets, and a CAB move to curb no shows. Jet fuel shortages prompt fuel surcharges and energy department jet fuel diversions.
