Analysis Summary
Global jet fuel prices jumped 70% since the Iran war started in late February 2026, driven by supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. Airlines across Europe and globally are cutting flights, raising ticket prices by up to 20%, and adding baggage fees to offset the costs. Even if the conflict ends soon, fuel prices are expected to stay elevated for months, meaning travelers should expect higher ticket prices and potential flight cancellations as the new baseline for summer travel.
