Making Sense of the Fuel Price Crisis
About this episode
The episode discusses how U.S. airlines are managing the impact of rising fuel prices on their operations.
Fuel accounts for roughly 20–30% of an airline’s operating costs—so when prices surge, the impact can be immediate and significant. In this week’s show, Gordon and Jay break down how U.S. airlines are navigating this historic spike and explore what it could mean for supply and demand.
