According to the Transport & Environment expert group, cited by Reuters, the surge in black gold adds an average of 88 euros in costs per passenger on a long-haul flight departing from Europe, and 29 euros on intra-European routes. If this trend continues, plane tickets to Morocco could also suffer from this sharp inflation.

Facing this crisis, major airlines like Ryanair, Lufthansa, and Air France-KLM already warned in March that they would pass these additional costs on to their customers if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
