Nonsense. Fuel may be *priced* in US dollars. Does not mean anything though. Red herring.
In other words, if the US dollar goes up against most other currentcies, fuel price in US dollars should go down.
As to buying fuel efficient planes. looks like AC decide they would rather go for cheaper ones than more fuel-efficient ones, I think?
So does Calin already regret them being cheap? :
