That it is not possible to absorb the additional cost is not agreeable. Railways too are in this same country, and are running by the same fuel or electricity. The salaries and other overheads have gone up there too. But if they can manage without increasing fares, more so, slash carriage rates so well, why can't Airlines do the same? It is just a matter of management and being harsh with wastages! The staff are overpaid, the excess of staff doing nothing and roaming here and there. Further, in Railways there are many many ticketless travels inspite of which there is profit whereas in flights there are no ticketless travels. How can there be loss to airlines?
