Asia-Pacific airlines may maintain higher airfares as passenger demand remains strong. This strategy allows carriers to recover elevated operating costs and bolster financial buffers. Jet fuel prices surged earlier but have since eased, though volatility persists. Airlines expect margins to improve from the fourth quarter with seasonal demand increases. Growing middle classes and economic growth in China and India support future passenger demand.
