Qantas reduces Jetstar flights to New Zealand due to rising jet fuel prices


Jetstar has announced it is reducing flights between Australia and New Zealand due to the rising cost of jet fuel as a result of the war in the Middle East. "We have made some temporary changes to our schedule, including due to a rise in jet fuel prices as a result of the conflict in the Middle East and other rising costs," a Jetstar NZ spokesperson said. The airline cited "unprecedented volatility in jet fuel prices due to the conflict in the Middle East" as its reason for reducing the number of flights between March 16 and May 3.
