A large number of May Day flights have been suddenly canceled as the wave of groundings triggered by high oil prices is spreading globally

Golden Ten Data reported on April 14 that recently, many netizens have posted screenshots on social platforms showing that their pre-booked airfare for the May Day holiday was canceled. The majority of canceled flights are those heading to Southeast Asia and Oceania. According to several airlines, the number of proactively canceled flights has indeed increased since April, with Southeast Asia and Oceania being the most affected regions, partly due to the sharp rise in oil prices. Compared to domestic routes, fuel prices at some international airports are even higher. Combined with the impact of demand and competition, certain routes are the first to be canceled. This trend is spreading throughout global flight markets and is gradually changing the competitive landscape of the aviation industry and travelers' choices.
