If fuel prices continue to increase for a few more weeks, which airline do you think will be forced to increase ticket prices the most or cut a series of flights? π²π₯
πΏ The Asian aviation industry is entering one of the most difficult periods since the pandemic. The price of Jet A1 jet fuel has more than doubled in just a short period of time, causing operating costs of many airlines to skyrocket and pushing profits into serious risk areas.
π According to the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines AAPA, without emergency support from the government, some airlines may fall into a crisis similar to Spirit Airlines in the US. οΏΌ
βοΈ Flight fuel usually accounts for about 30% to 40% of an airline's total operating costs. When Jet A1 prices doubled, already thin profit margins were almost wiped out.
π Table of impact of fuel prices on operating costs
Indicators Before the Current Crisis
Jet A1 price 90 USD/barrel 190 to 230 USD/barrel
Proportion of fuel in cost 30% 45% or higher
Increase in total mining costs Normal +60% to +70%
Likelihood of increasing ticket prices Low Very high
π Firms under the greatest pressure
Airline Characteristics Level of risk
AirAsia Low cost model, low profit margin Very high
Vietjet Air Focuses on customers who are sensitive to high prices
Scoot Long-haul low-cost carrier High
SpiceJet High financial pressure Very high
Vietnam Airlines Large scale but huge fuel costs Average to high
Singapore Airlines Stronger financial foundation Lower
π»π³ How is Vietnam affected?
Domestic airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air and Vietravel Airlines are under direct pressure when Jet A1 prices increase sharply. The Vietnam Aviation Administration once estimated that operating costs could increase by 60% to 70%, forcing businesses to adjust fuel surcharges and optimize flight schedules. οΏΌ
π« How airfare prices can fluctuate
Popular routes Previous prices Prices may increase further
Ho Chi Minh City β Hanoi 1,500,000 VND +300,000 to 1,000,000 VND
Ho Chi Minh City β Singapore 2,500,000 VND +500,000 to 1,500,000 VND
Ho Chi Minh City β Seoul 5,500,000 VND +1,000,000 to 3,000,000 VND
π Deep cause
1. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East increase oil supply risks
2. The Strait of Hormuz is at risk of disrupting energy transport
3. Jet A1 price difference increased sharply compared to crude oil
4. Many Asian companies do less hedging of fuel prices than their competitors in the US and Europe
βοΈ Compare resistance
Area Fuel protection level Shock resistance
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines Better Than High
Lufthansa Fairly good High
Asian low-cost carriers Low Restrictions
π¨ Worst scenario
If Jet A1 price remains above 220 USD/barrel for many months
β’ Ticket prices increased sharply across the region
β’ Low-cost airlines cut flights
β’ Some small businesses are at risk of restructuring
β’ Tourism and trade are negatively impacted
πΏ This is not just a story of airlines. Every increase in fuel prices can spread to ticket prices, logistics costs, inflation and ultimately family spending.
π For airlines, fuel is the "blood" of business. When fuel prices doubled, the entire industry was forced to choose between raising ticket prices, reducing flights, or accepting a sharp decline in profits.
