Ed Bastian, the head of Delta Air Lines, says increasing flight count will reduce ticket costs.
More seats mean airlines cut individual expenses.
He talked about increasing fuel prices and limited pilots and planes.
These issues now make tickets higher priced.
Bastian stressed that adding flights is the best way to lower prices.
He spoke while explaining how rising fuel bills damage carriers.
The CEO said extra flights help cut ticket costs for travelers across the country.
Bastian dismissed the idea that fares can drop without more open seats.
