Asian airlines are at risk of collapse without government aid due to soaring jet fuel prices, according to Wong Hong, the new head of the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines. He emphasized the need for financial support and flexibility in flight schedules to prevent situations like the recent shutdown of Spirit Airlines. While some countries have offered limited assistance, many airlines, including those in Hong Kong and Air New Zealand, have received no support. AAPA anticipates lower profitability and reduced passenger numbers in 2026.

The ongoing Iran war and Pakistan's airspace ban have significantly impacted Air India, leading to a 17.5% reduction in its international flights. As a result, foreign carriers like Lufthansa and Cathay Pacific are capitalizing on the situation, increasing their services to India. Foreign airlines now account for 58.4% of India-origin international flights, up from 51.2% a year earlier. Air India's ambitions to become a global airline are hindered by these challenges, with projected record losses exceeding $2.12 billion for fiscal 2025-26.

Budget carrier HK Express will reduce its fuel surcharge by 12.8% from May 16, lowering the fee to HK$339 per leg. This change, excluding mainland China routes, follows a decrease in global fuel prices amid the Middle East conflict. Other airlines, including Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines, are also cutting surcharges. The adjustment aims to enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness as a travel hub, although surcharges remain significantly higher than pre-March levels. Experts suggest the reduction is positive but not a major turnaround for the industry.
