Europe travel: demand vs fuel pain

- New surveys show Europeans want to travel this summer, but airlines are warning higher costs and route cuts because jet fuel prices spiked after the Iran‑related tensions in the Gulf. - The European Travel Commission reports 82% of Europeans plan travel April–September 2026, while outlets warn airlines are trimming routes and hiking fares linked to fuel disruption. - Strong consumer demand may meet smaller capacity and higher ticket prices, raising the chance of cancellations and longer airport waits.
