If the cost of travelling increases, will the numbers settle down and will it have an impact on growth? The DAA is projecting all of these growth figures based on where we are now and on the cost of travelling today. As I said, the committee was told that the cost of aviation fuel would be ten times what it is now. Even if it only increases fivefold, it will still have a huge impact and will probably mean that the price of a ticket goes up by double or treble. That will surely have an impact on the growth forecasts.
