Europe only has six weeks left of jet
0:02
fuel. This was announced today by the
0:04
International Agency of Energy. And
0:06
today I will be asking people here at
0:08
the airport how they feel about this and
0:10
if their travel plans have been
0:11
disrupted. Do you have any plans or do
0:13
you have travel plans that has been
0:14
disrupted due to the war now going on in
0:16
Iran?
0:16
>> So far not, but all my flights for the
0:19
moment are internally in Europe. what
0:22
what uh I can see and maybe in the
0:24
longer term if if if the kerosene prices
0:26
increase then maybe ticket prices will
0:28
be affected.
0:30
>> I don't know what will happen if I need
0:31
to go to the plant in Malaysia uh with
0:34
connection flies in Qatar and Doha. When
0:36
we left Ireland last Monday, we were
0:39
fell victim of the major demonstrations
0:43
in relation to
0:45
uh cost of fuel mainly and the the
0:48
significant effect it was having on the
0:50
farming community and the hollage
0:52
community. So I by reason of that I
0:55
missed my flight and I had to take a
0:57
later flight out to Malika.
0:59
>> Normally with business travel people
1:01
companies have budgets for business
1:03
travel. So if prices go up then budgets
1:05
are under pressure. So at some point uh
1:09
business travelers will be restricted.
1:11
So they will need to think and need to
1:14
justify maybe better whether they fly or
1:16
not. So uh for the moment we fly through
1:20
uh Hong Kong which is a good destination
1:23
but I think I expect a lot of price
1:26
increases in the coming weeks. Okay. to
1:29
put a break on it, put a little bit uh
1:32
downsizing on the number of flyers.
1:34
>> And besides that, um there's no direct
1:37
disruption except there's a few routes
1:40
um I saw in the UK that have been
1:42
completely cancelled um to save up that
1:44
jet fuel. This was Emer reporting for
1:47
the Olifers.
