This includes assisting them to rebook on to alternate flights or get a refund.”Loading TweetFlight prices soar as demand, fuel cost surgesQantas told The Nightly that bookings to Europe are high and that fuel costs are going up, with customers now seeing higher costs.“Qantas International is increasing fares this week in response to rising costs including the significant increases in jet fuel prices. These increases will vary from route to route,” the spokesperson said.“There have been strong bookings in recent weeks across parts of our international network for travel over the coming months.“Flights on Qantas’ European routes, including Perth-London, Perth-Paris and services via Singapore, are more than 90 per cent full in March, which is approximately 15 percentage points higher than normal for this time of year.“Bookings for flights to and from Europe between April and June have also increased in recent weeks on these routes as well as the Perth-Rome seasonal service which resumes in May.”Australians are also seeking an arguably safer flight route to Europe as tensions in the Middle East erupt, choosing to fly via the US, Asia or South Africa.“More customers have also been choosing to travel to Europe via the United States, other Asian cities and Johannesburg, connecting through Qantas’ partner airline network,” Qantas told The Nightly.“We are exploring options to redeploy capacity into Europe on existing routes in the coming months.”Air New Zealand on Thursday suspended its FY2026 earnings guidance due to jet fuel market volatility.Air India has also revealed details about surcharges that will be placed on domestic and international flights to cover higher fuel costs.Reports suggest more airlines are likely to follow British Airways in pulling services, something that could harm the delicately constructed global flight ecosystem.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
