Airfares rise in China and beyond amid Gulf oil shock, with 9% increases fearedby Ralph Jennings
Surging jet fuel prices amid the US-Israel war on Iran are pushing global airlines including Chinese carriers to raise fares, with an industry leader warning that prices could rise by up to 9 per cent if the energy crisis continues.
China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and at least two private Chinese carriers are among a growing list of global airlines that have raised fares since US-Israeli strikes on Iran started on February 28.
Global airfares could rise by 8 to 9 per cent if fuel prices remain high, the International Air Transport Association’s director general estimated earlier this month.
