He says, in the video below, that with a softening economic environment and high oil prices, "it's inevitable [fare] prices will have to go up".
"We're definitely, as an industry, in a crisis situation and a lot of people are going to struggle. We're in uncharted waters but I'm pleased that we're going in to this position with relative financial strength."
