Moreover, the national airline reported a sharp rise in fuel expenses driven by the surge in Brent crude oil prices and the marked widening of the crack spread (the difference between the price of Brent and the price of Jet A-1 aviation kerosene) in the second quarter of 2026 (April to June), where the average price per ton of Jet A-1 almost doubled.
