FED:Qantas lifts fares on all flights

SYDNEY, Feb 2 AAP - Qantas has increased its fares on all domestic and international
routes in response to increased fuel costs and carbon pricing schemes in Australia and
Europe.

International fares booked in Australia will rise by as much as $60 and domestic fares
will rise by between $3 and $6.

Qantas says jet fuel is its biggest operational cost and average prices in the financial
year so far are at their highest level in three years.

"Higher jet fuel costs and carbon pricing will impact future ticket prices for Qantas
and Jetstar passengers travelling domestically and internationally," the airline group
said in a statement.
