Jet fuel crisis hits summer travel

The aviation industry is facing a significant crisis as the war in Iran continues to destabilize global energy markets.

Over 30 airlines, including Lufthansa and Aer Lingus, have already suspended hundreds of routes due to soaring fuel costs and supply chain bottlenecks.

Economy airfares have risen by an average of 24% compared to last year as carriers struggle to offset the financial impact.

Travelers are being urged to brace for last-minute cancellations and higher surcharges throughout the peak summer season.
