Airlines raise airfares as fuel costs surge amid Middle East conflict

The three carriers said the spike in energy prices had significantly increased operating costs, forcing them to pass some of the burden on to passengers through higher ticket prices. Airlines are particularly sensitive to fuel price swings because fuel typically accounts for a substantial share of operating expenses.
