Ticket price not linked with fuel hike, says Etihad

Etihad Airways said there is no link between price of air tickets and the increase in the price of petrol in the UAE.
An Etihad Airways spokesperson said: "The price Etihad Airways pays for its jet fuel, whether in Abu Dhabi or in other markets around the world, is linked to benchmark indices that are independently assessed on a daily basis. There is no link between the price of petrol in the UAE and the price charged for jet fuel. Etihad Airways' total ticket prices are made up of a combination of elements, including fuel surcharges, and are competitively positioned in the markets we operate and sell in."
