中东局势推高燃油成本 航空公司削减航班运力
"提前两个月选的飞越南航班，就这么取消了""五一上海到曼谷亚航机票被取消".
近期，越来越多的人手机上弹出冰冷的"航班取消"短信。"五一"假期将至，行程却泡汤了。
据多家航空公司公告及航班数据，近期国内飞往曼谷、普吉岛、吉隆坡等热门目的地的航班出现大规模取消，国内外航司都有涉及。
为什么？不是航司不想赚这笔钱，而是中东战火烧到了它们的油箱。
例如，国泰航空就表示，过去一个月以来已尽力采取合适的方案保持航班网络运作如常，包括调整燃油附加费以应对燃油价格飙升，但仍未足以缓解燃油价格上升的冲击，削减运力是迫不得已的最后选择。
地缘冲突正在引发全球航空业的经营危机。
观察航空公司近期披露的年报不难发现，燃油成本普遍占航司总成本的30%至40%。作为航空公司业绩的"命门"，燃油成本上升，严重压缩航空公司利润。
有分析人士指出，当原油价格超过每桶80美元时，航空公司就会进入"微利"环境。如果未来数月油价维持在每桶100美元左右，甚至飙升至150美元，一些财务状况较弱的航空公司或将陷入困境。
当下，霍尔木兹海峡的通行尚未恢复正常。这条全球"能源大动脉"的梗阻，直接切断了海运航空燃油的重要供应链。
即便航道部分重启，但由于中东炼油能力受损，加之航空燃油运输距离远、海运周期长，航空燃油供应的恢复也需要数月时间。
据国际航空运输协会(IATA)数据，截至4月3日当周，全球航空燃油均价已飙升至每桶209美元，而这一数字在2月底仅为每桶99.
