Many analysts predicted that the collapse of the discount carrier Independence Air last month would lead to higher airfares at Dulles International Airport near Washington. The airport had some of the highest average fares in the nation before they began operating there in 2004, forcing competitors to lower ticket prices. Over all, fares have not gone up much since Independence Air closed, industry analysts say.
