Fuel price surge hits airline operationsRising aviation fuel prices are expected to affect airline operations. Notably, the price of Jet A-1 aviation fuel in the Singapore market surged dramatically. Risk of flight reductionsBeyond rising prices, aviation fuel supply is also facing the risk of shortages. Thailand has even imposed a ban on exporting certain petrochemical products, while China has also limited aviation fuel exports. These include a proposal to waive 100 percent of the environmental protection tax on aviation fuel until the end of May 2026, reduce value-added tax on aviation fuel and consider adjusting the domestic airfare price ceiling if necessary.
