Video Podcast: All’s fare in Iran war

written by Jake Nelson | November 11, 2026

With the cost of jet fuel showing no signs of coming down any time soon as the situation in the Middle East drags on, the major domestic airlines are again planning to shave back capacity and “adjust” airfares, meaning customers are probably going to keep feeling the pinch.

For now, the big carriers’ bottom lines are holding steady – so is the latest round of fare hikes and capacity cuts just an attempt to squeeze a bit more out of the travelling public?

On this week’s Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake, Hannah and David examine how the major airlines are continuing to cope with the fuel crisis, and how it will affect passengers and prices.

Plus, Qantas is looking to outsource 850 head-office jobs – where are they going, and how much of a role will AI play?
