China′s airlines add 2,900 flights to Europe as Russia access pays dividends (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's airlines are expected to add nearly 2,900 more China-Europe flights to their summer schedules compared with last year, analysts said, as the US-Israel war on Iran hands them an even greater competitive advantage over other global carriers.
Unlike many Western airlines, Chinese carriers can fly directly through Russian airspace to Europe rather than taking a lengthy detour, allowing them to offer quicker flights, save on fuel and avoid sending planes over the Middle East.

United Airlines CEO Warns Summer Airfares Will Spike, Tells Travelers To Book Now
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told ABC News on Wednesday that the month-long U.S.-Iran conflict and the resulting spike in jet fuel prices are set to push domestic summer airfares higher.
Kirby told ABC that ticket prices will have to rise by 20% to offset the more than 80% jump in jet fuel prices since the conflict began late last month. He said travelers should lock in their ticket prices now, before fares move higher.

US Postal Service Plans 8% Fuel Surcharge As Iran War Raises Transport Costs
By Eric Kulisch of FreightWaves,
The U.S. Postal Service is seeking permission to impose a fuel surcharge on parcel products for the first time ever to cover soaring transportation costs for gasoline and diesel fuel, which have jumped more than 30% since the invasion of Iran by the United States and Israel nearly a month ago.
Parcel shipments would be charged an 8% fee, on top of their regular transportation charge, if the fee is approved.
The quasi-private agency on Wednesday sought permission from the Postal Regulatory Commission for a time-limited price adjustment on parcel shipments because of rapidly changing market prices for fuel. It would be the first time in its history that the Postal Service has applied a fuel fee, a common practice with private carriers like DHL, FedEx and UPS.
The Postal Service also said that the temporary surcharge would help it transition to a permanent mechanism for imposing surchar...
