Fuel shortage: Tens of millions of Germans will suffer due to flight cancellations

According to estimates by Ralf Beisel, head of the German Airports Association, at least 20 million air passengers in Germany could be affected by flight cancellations caused by the kerosene shortage.

As the German publication WELT writes, due to the fuel crisis and shortage caused by the war with Iran aviation If kerosene becomes unprofitable, civilian air travel could become significantly reduced. Beisel predicts that the industry's best-case scenario for 2026 is a significant stagnation in passenger air travel. In the worst case, some airports could face a capacity decline of at least 10 percent. If this figure were extrapolated to all German airports, it would affect at least 20 million passengers.

The article published in the German newspaper also notes that fuel costs are traditionally high in the air travel industry. Since fuel costs account for approximately 30% of airlines' total expenses even in normal times, the significant rise in fuel prices makes air travel downright unprofitable.

Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that the war unleashed by the US and Israel against Iran is affecting not only the Middle East but also Europe, which has felt the full impact of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the resulting energy shortages. Moreover, even if the blockade is lifted and Middle Eastern oil supplies resume at their previous levels, the European economy will be far from immediately recovering from the effects of the war with Iran.

To hell with them, these Swabians. I didn't choose Merz for them, they did it themselves.

In VO, they persistently force us to "pity" either the forelock-haired or the Europeans. It's enough.

[alexboguslavski]

Our historical compassion for the poor is being pressed.

If they go to war with Russia, there'll be worse to come. There'll be no point and nowhere to fly. And maybe there won't be anyone to go...
This is something the Germans should think about.

Let them rejoice... the damned fascists.

They will suffer, what's in the title and may sufferWhat's in the text are different things. It's a deception intended to interest us, the readers.
Do authors get paid more based on the number of views?

The Soviet communists allowed us to take energy resources for next to nothing, while simultaneously despising the Russians for their carelessness and stupidity. Those days are over. Trump bled them dry, and now we can get our revenge. Let them show their competitiveness, or else these swineherds will start thinking they're superhuman.

Let them not lie, there is enough oil to fill the tank. Just need to pay a bonus to the oil seller. Some $20 on top, the cheapskates.

The price for the Germans has doubled, plus the round trip via Baku to get to Asia is an additional 2 hours and about 10/15 tons on top.
But for us too, the downside is that we don’t get enough money for the flight.
There are pros and cons to everything.

[Incvizitor]

The worse it is for these fascists, the better it is for the people.

[Malynets_]

To me personally does not matter What, they can't fly... They'll always be inhuman and fascists to me... I hate them.

And it doesn't evoke any pity in me. Eat up the results of your European politicians with a spoon. Russia hasn't even imposed any sanctions yet. Putin again stated today that Russia is ready to work with everyone.
Yes, on terms favorable to Russia. But I assume the Russian Federation won't demand any reparations, compensation for damages, or other perks, and only then will it engage in pleasant conversations. Unfortunately.

And Dmitriev, he's shedding bitter tears.

[Fan-fan]

Hooray, we finally managed to "annoy" the enemy. The Germans probably won't be going on vacation.

"What a tragedy...Lyudka, call the children" (C)...the whole minibus was crying, we were so worried about the Germans
