Bengaluru - Global airlines are increasing ticket prices as jet fuel costs surge sharply due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Fuel prices have nearly doubled in recent weeks, significantly impacting airline operating costs and forcing carriers worldwide to introduce fare hikes and fuel surcharges. Major airlines across regions including Asia, Europe, and Oceania have begun adjusting fares, particularly on long-haul routes. Carriers such as Air France KLM, Qantas, and Air India have introduced additional charges, while others have reduced flight frequencies to manage rising expenses. The surge in fuel prices is also affecting route planning, with airlines rerouting flights to avoid high-risk airspace, further increasing operational costs. Industry experts warn that ticket prices are expected to remain volatile in the coming months, especially during peak travel seasons. Despite the challenges, demand for international travel remains resilient, though cost-sensitive travellers may begin to alter plans if prices continue to rise.
