Airlines around the world are grappling with soaring fuel costs as the conflict in the Middle East pushes up oil prices. At the same time, Qantas and Virgin Australia are still running major airfare sales - while Qantas has been forced to delay its ambitious Project Sunrise launch.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Jakob Cakarnis, Managing Director, Equity Research at Jarden, about the outlook for Australia’s aviation sector, including why direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York matter so much to Qantas, and how rising fuel prices are changing airline economics.
