Iran War: How the jet fuel shortage affects air travel
Geopolitical tensions stemming from the Iran war and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are causing jet fuel supply concerns, leading to higher airfares (including Spanish airline Volotea's variable surcharges) and widespread flight cancellations such as Lufthansa cutting 20,000 upcoming flights. Passenger protections vary by region: EU travelers have defined rights under the Air Passenger Rights Regulation, though airlines may avoid compensation by canceling flights early, while the U.S. lacks standard compensation rules and is less affected due to lower fuel import dependence.
