Consumers should buy airline tickets as soon as possible to avoid the risk of higher fares caused by rising oil prices triggered by the war in Iran, Spain's industry and tourism minister said.
Reuters – Higher fuel costs threaten to push up airfares and weigh on demand, he warned in an interview published on Monday with Spanish newspaper Expansion.
"What we're recommending is that people buy their tickets now because it's true that (airlines) are currently using kerosene that was purchased some time ago, and therefore there's an element of price fluctuations involved," Industry and Tourism Minister Jordi Hereu said.
