Are one (?)

Hello and thanks your your help!

Please, consider that sentence:

The cheap flights are one of the consequences of the global economy.

Is correct that "are one" or the only right way is "The cheap flights are consequence..." - It seems that some sense is lost so!

Anonymous The cheap flights are one of the consequences of the global economy. That is OK. Or: The cheap flights are a / one consequence of the global economy.
