The CEO of United Airlines, one of the three major U.S. international airlines, mentioned in a letter to all employees that the airline is preparing for oil prices to reach $175 per barrel. He even speculated that oil prices might not drop back to $100 per barrel until the end of 2027. To save on fuel costs, United Airlines will cut 3% of off-peak flights this spring and summer, mainly red-eye flights at night. Additionally, routes from Tel Aviv and Dubai to the U.S. will be suspended.
