Hormuz Crisis Hits Ticket Prices and Airlines
European airfare prices are rising due to increased jet fuel costs caused by the Hormuz Strait crisis, with expenses reaching unprecedented levels.

Airlines are facing double hardship: declining hedging contracts alongside rising operational costs. Experts predict that if the crisis persists, airlines may reduce their routes or merge, amid growing financial challenges—especially considering Europe's reliance on jet fuel refined through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 40% of its imports.
