Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

[SYD]

It's not a silly scenario, more like a sensible scenario considering the head case politicians that are involved in conflict. If the strait of Hormuz is still closed this time next month I can almost guarantee leisure aviation will be heavily impacted.

So LCCs will stop but full service airlines with Biz travellers will soldier on?

In reality, any airlines that don’t bounce through the sand pits will be cashing in.

Situation looks identical.

Including the accounting of reserves/holdings includes tankers in transit rather than just landed fuel which seems on one level at least to be a bit disingenuous.

Yup - this site I stumbled across on Twitter suggests there's only about 19 days of jet fuel left (it's very doomscrolly I hasten to add).

(Still, the Donald has just announced he's postponing bombing Iranian energy infrastructure which has caused the oil price to drop.)

Crude now below $100. Crazy fluctuations based on words from his mouth alone.

Apparently the Iranians are now denying ever having any contact.

So pleased to read this just now. Wishin' and prayin'. Maybe just finding a graceful exit.
