Airlines are likely to add more than $50 to the price of transatlantic tickets in a bid to recoup losses from the volcanic ash crisis.

According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, fares could rise by up to 5.2 per cent. This would add £31 to an economy flight to New York on British Airways, taking it to £545, and £12 to the cost of a flight to Italy, taking it up to £239.
