|
7.1
The war in the Middle East canceled thousands of flights across the Persian Gulf and erased US$53 billion from the market value of the world’s 20 largest airlines in the first three weeks of the conflict. Fuel prices have doubled, with jet fuel trading near US$150–US$200 per barrel, while revenue collapses threaten IATA’s projected US$41 billion industry profit for 2026. Airlines with hedging, low costs, and strong balance sheets show greater resilience.
