米歇尔·查普曼瑞安航空CEO预计，随着中东冲突持续，明年欧洲机票价格可能上涨多达20%。
MICHELLE CHAPMAN The CEO for Ryanair expects European plane ticket prices may climb as much as 20% next year with the conflict in the Middle East ongoing.
“所以我们要面对2027年油价大幅上涨的局面……我认为这将以机票价格显著上涨的形式转嫁出去，”CEO迈克尔·奥利里周一在接受CNBC采访时说。在美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击后，航空燃油价格一直极度波动。
“So we’re facing 2027 where we have much higher oil prices... I think they’re going to get passed on in significantly higher airfares,” CEO Michael O’Leary said in a Monday interview on CNBC. The price of jet fuel has been extremely volatile after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran .
战争期间，航空燃油价格的涨幅甚至超过石油，这既反映了原油价格上涨，也反映了这种精炼燃料供应紧张——它是航空公司最大的运营开支之一。航空公司已削减了一些利润较低的航班，并提高了票价和行李费，尽管美国主要航空公司表示，乘客收入增加最初仅能覆盖其飙升燃油成本的一部分。
Jet fuel has risen even faster than oil during the war, reflecting both higher crude prices and tight supplies of the refined fuel that is one of the largest operating expenses for airlines. Carriers have cut some less profitable flights and raised fares and baggage fees, although major U.S. airlines said higher passenger revenue initially covered only part of their soaring fuel costs.
根据国际航空运输协会的航空燃油价格监测数据，全球范围内，2月27日——即战争开始前一天——航空燃油均价约为每桶99美元。国际航空运输协会援引标普全球能源普氏的数据称，到4月初价格翻了一倍多，达到209美元，随后下跌近三个月，在重新上涨后于9月中旬达到每桶195美元。目前全球航空燃油均价徘徊在每桶196美元左右。
Globally, jet fuel averaged about $99 a barrel on Feb. 27, the day before the war began , according to the International Air Transport Association’s Jet Fuel Price Monitor. Prices more than doubled to $209 by early April, fell for nearly three months and reached $195 a barrel in mid-September following their renewed ascent, IATA said, citing data from S&P Global Energy Platts. The global average jet fuel price is currently hovering around $196 a barrel.
由于柴油和航空燃油是密切相关的产品，在炼油厂争夺加工空间，其中一种的短缺可能给另一种的价格和供应带来额外压力。
Since diesel and jet fuel are closely related products that compete for space at refineries, shortages of one can put additional pressure on the price and availability of the other.
国际航空运输协会预计，今年燃油将占航空公司运营开支的近三分之一，高于2025年的约四分之一。
The IATA expects fuel to account for nearly one-third of airline operating expenses this year, up from about a quarter in 2025.
瑞安航空周一表示，预计欧洲短途机票价格不会完全抵消明年其燃油账单的预期增长，因此正在审查成本，可能不得不实施临时冻薪、降低机组人员配比，并更多地使用人工智能，以进一步提高后台和支持职能的生产率。
Ryanair said Monday that it doesn’t expect European short haul airfares to fully offset anticipated increases in its fuel bill for next year, so it is reviewing its costs and may have to impose temporary pay freezes, lower crew ratios and use more artificial intelligence to get further productivity for back office and support functions.
