航空公司正于今年夏季削减航线,原因是伊朗战争导致喷气式燃油成本上涨。
加拿大航空、达美航空等多家航空公司周五表示,部分航线将受到影响。
“油价飙升总体而言是重大新闻,对喷气式燃油价格的影响尤为显著,”旅游经济咨询公司(Tourism Economics)首席经济学家斯蒂芬·鲁尼(Stephen Rooney)对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。“喷气式燃油是航空公司的巨大成本开支,在长途航班上尤其如此。”
航空公司此前是基于燃油成本将保持相对稳定的预期预售机票的。鲁尼预计,航空公司将因燃油成本上涨取消部分航班。自2月28日战争爆发以来,喷气式燃油价格已翻倍,推高了航空公司的运营成本。行业分析师指出,喷气式燃油通常占航空公司总运营成本的25%至30%左右。
“他们是基于特定的燃油价格预期售出机票的,但当油价上涨时,他们有时会取消航班,或是加收附加费,”他说。“机票是按合同售出的,无法反悔,因此他们会取消部分航线以规避这一问题。”
这可能会给夏季航空旅行带来混乱。
燃油成本上涨导致航线取消
达美航空周五表示,将于今年夏季削减四条航线。
该航空公司在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中称,作为“常规规划流程”的一部分,将从6月至9月暂停从纽约约翰·肯尼迪国际机场、底特律和波士顿出发的部分航班。当被问及燃油成本问题时,达美航空表示,此次削减航线的决定是基于“多种因素”做出的,其中包括运营成本和进行航班时刻表更新时的 broader 运营考量。
以下是其将缩减服务的航线:
- 肯尼迪机场至孟菲斯,6月7日至9月7日
- 肯尼迪机场至圣路易斯,6月7日至9月7日
- 底特律机场至冰岛雷克雅未克,5月7日至7月6日
- 波士顿机场至巴哈马拿骚,7月18日至9月5日
“我们将直接联系所有受影响的乘客,提供替代方案,”一名航空公司发言人在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示。
国际能源署(IEA)负责人法提赫·比罗尔(Fatih Birol)表示,欧洲各机场的喷气式燃油储备仅能维持约六周,之后便会耗尽。
“由于缺乏喷气式燃油,部分A城市至B城市的航班可能会被取消,”比罗尔说,并指出当前的能源供应中断是“我们有史以来面临的最严重能源危机”。
加拿大航空周五表示,将于6月1日至10月25日暂停从多伦多和蒙特利尔飞往纽约肯尼迪机场的航线,理由是喷气式燃油成本上涨。
“自伊朗冲突爆发以来,喷气式燃油价格已翻倍,部分盈利能力较低的航线和航班已不再具备经济可行性,因此我们正在相应调整航班时刻表,”加拿大航空在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示。
荷兰皇家航空(KLM Royal Dutch Airlines)也表示,由于成本上涨,将在本月调整航班时刻表,部分航线“在财务上已不再具备运营可行性”。
德国汉莎航空(Lufthansa)同样表示,将于本周关停一家区域航空公司,“鉴于煤油价格大幅上涨”,将停飞部分飞机。
令人担忧的 disruption
航空分析师表示,航空业面临的 disruptions 正日益引发担忧。
“我不记得曾见过如此大规模的此类事件,这令人警觉,”航空业分析师亨利·哈特维尔特(Henry Harteveldt)在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻高级交通记者克里斯·范·克利夫(Kris Van Cleave)采访时表示。
美国本土航空公司的处境略好于欧洲航空公司,因为美国本土生产大部分所需的喷气式燃油。
但这可能会给飞往欧洲的美国旅客带来麻烦,他们可能会面临行程中断。
“可能会出现这样的情况:航空公司会说,算了吧,如果出发机场的喷气式燃油不足,将飞机飞往欧洲风险太大,航班可能不得不中途停靠加油。这意味着回家的旅程会更长,”哈特维尔特说。
伊朗方面周五表示,自战争爆发以来一直被油轮通行封锁的霍尔木兹海峡,已随着以色列和黎巴嫩之间达成停火协议而重新开放。
一旦承载全球约20%石油供应量的油轮重新开始通过该海峡航行,喷气式燃油价格将回归正常——但不会立刻实现。分析师预计,燃油供应稳定以及油价恢复正常水平可能需要数周,甚至数月时间。

Airlines cut routes in response to rising jet fuel costs amid Iran war

Airlines are cutting routes this summer as they face rising jet fuel costs amid the Iran war.
Air Canada, Delta, and other airlines said Friday that certain routes will be impacted.
“The spike in oil prices is big news in general and the impact on jet fuel prices is pronounced,” Stephen Rooney, lead economist at Tourism Economics, told CBS News. “Jet fuel is a huge cost for airlines, especially on longer-haul flights.”
Airlines pre-sold tickets based on expectations that fuel costs would remain relatively stable. Rooney expects them to cancel some flights based on rising fuel costs. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the war began on Feb. 28, raising costs for airlines. Jet fuel typically accounts for roughly 25% to 30% of overall costs, according to industry analysts.
“They’ve sold tickets on the basis of certain fuel price expectations, but when that goes up, sometimes they’ll cancel flights, or add surcharges,” he said. “Tickets are sold under contract, and you can’t backtrack, so they cancel some routes to avoid that.”
That could mean turbulence for summer air travel.
Routes canceled as fuel costs rise
Delta Air Lines on Friday said it is cutting four routes this summer.
It’s cutting certain flights from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Detroit and Boston through September as part of its “normal planning process,” the airline said in a statement to CBS News. When asked about fuel costs, the airline said the decision to cut routes was made based on a “variety of factors,” including operating costs and broader operational considerations when making schedule updates.
Here is where it’s reducing service:
- JFK to Memphis, from June 7 to Sept. 7
- JFK to St. Louis, from June 7 to Sept. 7
- DTW to Reykjavik, Iceland, from May 7 to July 6
- BOS to Nassau, Bahamas, from July 18 to Sept. 5
“We will directly contact any impacted customers with alternate options,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol said that European airports have about a six-week supply of jet fuel before it runs out.
“Some of the flights from city A to city B might be canceled as a result of a lack of jet fuel,” Birol said, noting that the current disruption is “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced in history.”
Air Canada on Friday said it’s cutting routes from Toronto and Montreal to New York’s JFK Airport from June 1 through Oct. 25, citing rising jet fuel costs.
“As jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict and some lower profitability routes and flights are no longer economic, and we are making schedule adjustments accordingly,” Air Canada said in a statement to CBS News.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines also said it’s adjusting its flight schedule this month due to rising costs as certain routes are “no longer financially viable to operate.”
German airline Lufthansa also said it will shut down a regional airline this week, grounding planes “in view of significantly increased kerosene prices.”
Alarming disruptions
The disruption to the aviation industry is a growing cause for concern, according to airline analysts.
“I don’t recall ever seeing anything like this on such a large scale, it’s alarming,” airline industry analyst Henry Harteveldt told CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave.
U.S.-based airlines are slightly better positioned than European carriers, because the U.S. produces most of its own jet fuel.
But that could spell trouble for U.S. travelers flying to Europe, who could face disruptions.
“There may be some routes where the airline says, you know what, it’s just too risky to send a plane over to Europe if there’s not enough jet fuel at your originating airport, your flight may have to make an intermediate stop to get more fuel along the way. That means a longer trip home,” Harteveldt said.
Iran on Friday said that the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked to tanker traffic since the war began, had reopened amid a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Once tankers, carrying about 20% of the world’s oil supply, start sailing through the strait again, jet fuel prices will return to normal — but not immediately. Analysts expect it to take weeks, if not months, for the fuel supply to stabilize, and for oil prices to return to normal levels.
