(1) Analysts point out that after the US and Iran reached a temporary peace agreement, oil prices fell, and airlines are expected to save billions of dollars in aviation fuel expenses. (2) However, passengers are unlikely to benefit in the short term, as capacity is currently tight, giving airlines incentive to keep ticket prices well above pre-war levels. The US market is particularly typical—this year, ticket price increases still lag behind the rise in fuel costs, domestic seat growth is limited, and airlines are more inclined to use lower fuel costs to restore profit margins rather than roll back recent fare hikes. (3) Data shows that on June 17, the US aviation fuel spot price was $2.85 per gallon, down sharply from the peak of $4.88 per gallon in early April. Based on estimated industry fuel consumption, if this drop continues, US airlines’ annual fuel expenditure could decrease by more than $40 billion.
