The conflict involving Iran has once again highlighted the aviation industry’s vulnerability to geopolitical shocks, with ripple effects being felt across global energy markets, airline operating costs, and fuel supply chains. For African airlines, understanding how these developments influence jet fuel prices, supply security, and market dynamics is critical for informed commercial and operational decision-making.
Join AFRAA and S&P Global for a critical briefing on 21st of July 2026 at 14.00hrs EAT (11.00hrs UTC) in virtual format on what this means for your airline’s bottom line and operations.
Subject matter experts will unpack:
- Where jet fuel stands today — the real-time supply and pricing picture
- The bigger picture — how the crisis is playing out globally versus regionally, and what different regions are doing to secure supply
- The road to recovery — realistic timelines for Brent crude and jet crack spreads to normalize post-conflict
- The benchmarks that matter — key pricing assessments and forward indicators to watch
- The bottlenecks — how refinery repairs and maritime traffic disruptions could delay a return to stability
- What it all means — the broader ripple effects for African carriers
Who should attend?
This is a must-attend session for strategy, finance, fuel procurement, commercial and operations teams looking to plan ahead in an uncertain market.
We look forward to your airline’s participation.
