Elevated jet fuel prices, recently near $4.70 per gallon after doubling amid the Iran conflict and supply disruptions, represent the dominant pressure on airline margins and liquidity through September 2026. U.S. carriers reported sharply higher fuel expenses in the first half, contributing to a sector net profit of just $16 million in Q2 versus $4 billion a year earlier, with several posting negative free cash flow and elevated leverage. airBaltic filed for Chapter 11 on September 14 citing fuel costs, grounded aircraft, and lost routes, securing €350 million in DIP financing; Spirit Airlines had already ceased operations in May after its second filing. Larger carriers are trimming capacity and deferring expansion while smaller or highly leveraged operators face acute refinancing and lease risks into year-end.
