British Airways chief executive Sean Doyle says air fares will rise again if jet fuel costs stay elevated. Doyle’s warning is linked to recent movements in global fuel prices, which he says have doubled since the start of the Iran-related conflict in February. Multiple reports tie the higher fuel costs to disruptions and risk premiums affecting international shipping and energy markets, including concern over the Strait of Hormuz trade route. The Mirror reports that Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz to trade following US and Israeli strikes on Iranian sites, contributing to the fuel price increase. The Financial Times frames the development primarily around the cost pressure on airlines, noting that jet fuel prices have risen sharply since February. Together, the outlets present a consistent picture: airline pricing is facing upward pressure due to sustained increases in jet fuel costs, and British Airways signals that it may pass some of those costs on to passengers through higher fares if the situation does not improve.
