FT News Briefing · Airlines in stand-off over cutting ticket prices · 18 Aug 2026 podcast

Airlines are in a standoff with each other over whether to cut ticket prices. voice-verified

That's what one analyst told the FT. voice-verified

Now, the cost of jet fuel is starting to come down after a big jump as a result of the US-Iran war. voice-verified

But it's been a bad year for carriers bottom lines, so they wanna maximize their profits. voice-verified

Plus, airlines are worried that if one of them lowers prices, that will trigger a race to the bottom. voice-verified

Here to tell us more is the FT's transport correspondent Peter Campbell. voice-verified

Well, let's dive into this idea of a standoff that airlines are in. voice-verified

Let's say one of them does start cutting prices. voice-verified
