Airfares Will Not Return to Pre-Iran War Levels, American Airlines Warns
· Business · Financial Times, The Hindu
American Airlines has warned that global airfares will not return to levels seen before the conflict involving Iran. The airline cited sustained pressure from elevated fuel costs and ongoing operational adjustments as primary drivers behind the elevated pricing structure. Industry analysts note that carriers worldwide continue to absorb higher expenses related to altered flight paths and jet fuel procurement. Passengers should anticipate enduring higher ticket prices across both domestic and international routes as a result of these persistent market pressures. The carrier did not specify a timeline for when or if stabilization might occur.
