The Iran war is reportedly putting the global aviation sector in crisis. Ticket prices in Canada have started to increase as the price of jet fuel has risen sharply in the international market. There are indications from the market that this will be a huge financial burden for passengers in the coming days.
The sudden price increase was caused by the war disrupting the oil supply chain in the Middle East. Since Canada imports fuel depending on the price in the international market, airlines cannot avoid this additional cost. With operating costs reaching their limits, companies are naturally forced to pass on this burden to passengers through ticket prices.
The increase in ticket prices will be a big setback for families and business travelers planning vacation trips. Some airlines are likely to cut services or eliminate unnecessary routes as part of reducing fuel costs. There are also reports that passengers may be charged an additional amount called 'fuel surcharge' in addition to the current rate. Travel agents are advising those planning trips to book their tickets as early as possible as flight prices are likely to rise further. Changes in the fuel market in the coming days will depend on how long the Iran war lasts.
