AI insight
AI-generatedSoaring fuel prices directly increase airlines' input costs, squeezing margins. Qantas and Virgin Australia respond by cutting capacity on domestic routes. The channel is input_cost (jet fuel). Impact is region/country-specific (Australia) but reflects global oil price pass-through. Winners: none; losers: airlines (Qantas, Virgin) and consumers facing higher fares.
