"Costs increased because airlines had to improve security."

Explanation: After 9/11 air travel and tourism fell sharply and airline revenues dropped; the industry faced large losses. Major new security measures (TSA, more screening, reinforced cockpit doors, procedures, and compliance costs) raised operating costs significantly. The other statements are incorrect: travel did not overall increase and revenues fell, and airlines did not primarily incur costs from building safer planes.
