Cost reduction remains critical. All industry partners and stakeholders will have to sustain their focus on fuel efficiency and attack costs.

Instead of expanding refinery capacity, the oil companies plan to return a quarter of a trillion dollars to investors over the next two years. Airlines alone have contributed $14 billion to this windfall profit. It is time that governments stepped in to encourage investment in new refinery capacity along with research into alternative fuel sources.
