Airlines are preparing to slash millions of seats from this month’s schedule, as the Middle East conflict and soaring jet fuel prices drive up costs ahead of the industry’s busiest travel season.

Iran’s use of jet fuel rose by over 6% in the year to late March compared to the previous calendar year, a sign of increased activity in the country’s aviation sector despite US and European sanctions targeting the industry.

The warplanes of the Iranian army have carried out their missions successfully in a military drill dubbed Zolfaqar in the south of the country.

EghtesadOnline: A plane has skidded off an airport runway in Istanbul, causing the jet to split into three pieces, Turkish media reports.

EghtesadOnline: Reuters reported that a Myanmar-based energy intermediary received a shipment of Iranian jet fuel after signing a contract to purchase South African diesel. According to the news agency, documents it reviewed indicate that Myanmar's foreign exchange regulator also approved the shipment being recorded as diesel rather than jet fuel, a move that could have concealed the cargo's true origin and helped circumvent U.S. sanctions.
