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