Iran war: Experts warn airfares may increase as jet fuel prices surge

Airline executives are cautioning travelers that airfares may soar as jet fuel prices surge due to the war in Iran. Commuters already feeling strain at the gas pump say the possibility of higher ticket prices adds new pressure. "People can't afford what's going on right now," said Edwin Archer of Atlanta, Georgia. He added that the rising costs "are going to affect a lot of people." United Airlines confirmed to Action News that the spike in jet fuel prices - driven by the war in Iran - will have a "meaningful" impact on the carrier. The airline said passengers could soon feel the effects in their wallets. #iran #war #airtravel https://6abc.com/post/iran-war-experts-warn-airfares-may-increase-jet-fuel-prices-surge/18687230/
