In response to the surging oil prices, many airlines are reducing the number of scheduled flights.

Affected by the situation in the Middle East, international oil prices are hovering at high levels. To cope with the increase in aviation fuel prices, several airlines such as United Airlines and Air New Zealand have announced a reduction in scheduled flights. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said on the 20th that the company will cut 5% of scheduled flights in the second and third quarters to cope with the skyrocketing cost of aviation fuel due to high oil prices. Air New Zealand announced as early as the 12th of this month that they would cut approximately 1,100 flights before the beginning of May, affecting about 5% of the domestic and international scheduled flights, affecting around 44,000 airline passengers. Scandinavian Airlines was also one of the first airlines to announce a reduction in scheduled flights due to the increase in fuel prices, announcing on the 17th that they would cut 1,000 scheduled flights in April. The company said in an email, "The entire European aviation industry is currently feeling the pressure due to the sudden impact of rising fuel prices." Vietnamese authorities have warned the country's aviation industry to be prepared for possible flight reductions from April onwards due to the exacerbation of the risk of fuel supply shortages. Delta Airlines in the United States stated that if fuel prices remain high, the company is able to "flexibly adjust capacity."
