Air New Zealand is implementing measures to mitigate the impact of escalating jet fuel costs, which have more than doubled due to the ongoing Iran war. The airline is set to increase fares and reduce flight availability for the months of May and June.
This decision marks the second adjustment of its kind by Air New Zealand in response to the disruptions in global air travel and the surge in fuel expenses triggered by the conflict. The airline has stated that it will soon notify passengers affected by the flight reductions.
In addition to rising fuel costs, the aviation sector is grappling with the closure of major aviation hubs in the Middle East, further compounding the challenges faced by airlines worldwide.
