Flight prices are set to rise even further as fuel prices continue to soar, Willie Walsh, director-general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), has warned.

Walsh, who previously served as CEO of Aer Lingus and British Airways, told the BBC’s “Sunday Morning” that airlines would ultimately be forced to pass higher oil prices onto customers in the form of higher ticket prices as oil prices remain volatile.
