The war in Iran and its impact on international passenger transportation.
At first glance, not obvious consequences of the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States are beginning to appear.
And this time it has affected ordinary citizens of European and Asian countries.
Many airlines announced at the end of April that they would reduce flights on certain routes, and temporarily suspended flights on unpopular destinations.
The reason for this is the lack of reserves and the cost of aviation fuel, which has risen in price in Asia to $2,000 per ton.
This leads to an increase in ticket prices of up to 30%.
The problem is exacerbated by the fact that no real end to the conflict or the opening of the Omur Strait is yet in sight.
Negotiations have led nowhere so far.
Even after the end of the conflict, stabilizing the situation may take from several months to a year.
Middle Eastern carriers and companies such as Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways have found themselves in the most difficult situation.
Their number of hubs available for use has decreased, they have been affected by price increases, routes closed due to military actions, and reduced transit.
