Airlines have been hedging fuel for quite a while now. So any drop in oil prices will have little immediate effect. However, if the oil prices drop dramatically (say $90 a barrel) it'll be interesting to see how the airlines respond. After all, if that happens it's going to be a reach for them to use oil prices as an excuse to further add misc. charges.
