50% increase in air tickets – Low-cost airlines face the largest price hikes – More expensive prices are a matter of time

Air ticket prices have surged by up to 50% over the last two years due to instability in global energy markets triggered by the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Airline operating costs have escalated as fuel prices represent a significant portion of expenditures, leading low-cost carriers to pass these increases onto passengers. Industry leaders like Lufthansa and Ryanair warn of further price hikes in the coming year as fuel hedging contracts expire and operational expenses continue to climb.
