Scandinavian airline SAS revealed that it would be canceling more than 1,000 flights in April due to skyrocketing fuel prices, which have doubled within ten days amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The airline's CEO, Anko van der Verfs, said that despite efforts to absorb the increased costs, the price hike poses a significant shock to the airline industry. SAS has already taken measures by raising ticket prices to offset the escalated fuel expenses, showcasing the direct impact of external geopolitical issues on aviation.
