Airline shares rebound as Middle East services restart; analysts warn of fuel-exposed carriers after U.S.–Iran escalation

Airline shares rebounded Thursday as Gulf and Asian carriers resumed limited services across the Middle East, easing immediate operational pressure after U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran. However, spiking oil and analyst warnings that some carriers are highly exposed to rising jet‑fuel costs kept markets volatile and could leave shares trading flat.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Resumption of limited Middle East services eased immediate operational strain and supported share-price recovery after earlier widespread airspace closures and passenger/crew disruptions.

  • Analysts at Rothschild/Redburn flagged specific carriers as "most exposed" to higher jet fuel and said shares could trade around the flatline, underscoring that rising oil/jet‑fuel costs remain the primary near‑term downside risk following recent suspensions and route disruptions.
