Several Chinese airlines have canceled flights to and from Singapore due to a sharp rise in jet fuel prices caused by the Iran conflict. Routes from major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have been affected, disrupting travel plans during China’s Golden Week holiday.
The increase in fuel prices has made many flights unprofitable, as ticket prices have not risen at the same rate. As a result, airlines are reducing capacity to limit losses.
Passengers affected by cancellations are usually offered rebooking or refunds, although additional travel costs may not be covered.
