European airline executives are warning that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East will lead to increased airfares and potential fuel shortages. The disruption follows a series of strikes involving Iran and Israel that began in late February, causing significant turmoil in global aviation with rerouted flights and closed airspace over the Gulf.
Ryanair Holdings plc Chief Executive Michael O’Leary highlighted the worsening outlook during an aviation summit in Brussels, noting that the situation becomes increasingly difficult as the conflict persists.
