Air China and Other Airlines Raise Flight Prices Due to Middle East War

International flights will be affected by the price changes.
The war in the Middle East has caused oil prices to rise.
Oil prices have gone up to $100 per barrel since the US and Israel attacked Iran. This led to Iran attacking oil areas in some Gulf states.
Cathay Pacific increased its fuel surcharge by 34% last month.
Other airlines like Air France-KLM, Air India, Qantas, and SAS have also raised their prices.
Some airlines stopped flying to the Middle East due to safety concerns.
Analysts say airlines may still lose money despite planning for fuel costs.
Chinese airlines had 770 million passengers in 2025, which is 5.5% more than the year before. International flights increased by 21.6%. Chinese airlines are growing.
The number of passengers is expected to reach 810 million, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
