Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian explained that airline ticket prices increased mainly because of soaring fuel costs linked to the Iran conflict and limited flight supply caused by congested air traffic control. Despite these higher costs, travel demand remains strong. Bastian highlighted that prices will only decrease when more flights can be added, which depends on easing air traffic bottlenecks. He also pointed to government spending and deregulation as factors that could help reduce fares in the future. Delta absorbed nearly $2 billion in higher energy costs, forcing fare hikes, but recent oil price drops and ongoing infrastructure improvements offer hope for more affordable tickets ahead.
