Iran war causes jet fuel shortages and flight disruptions affecting travel costs and availability

The ongoing war between the U.S./Israel and Iran has disrupted global oil supplies, leading to jet fuel shortages and price increases from $99 to $209 per barrel. Airlines including Air Canada, United, Delta, and European carriers have reduced routes, suspended services, and raised prices or fees due to fuel costs. European countries could face jet fuel shortages within weeks according to the International Energy Agency.
