Fuel Uncertainty Not Yet Pushing Prices Nationwide
- Fuel shortages haven't yet driven widespread ticket price rises because many airlines hedged fuel costs and short-term price moves reflect supply and demand.
- Sarah Slattery notes long-haul via UAE routes face disruption and July/August prices could still spike depending on hedging and demand.
