The price of jet fuel has soared since the start of the conflict more than three weeks ago, which has sent oil prices soaring and sparked fears of fuel shortages. "The limited supply of aviation fuel (Jet A-1) due to the conflict in the Middle East has put domestic airlines at risk of fuel shortages," prompting the flight cuts, the authority said. Major domestic routes and international flights are being maintained, it said. Airlines in Vietnam were working on adding fuel surcharges on international routes that may be applied in April, it added. Elsewhere in the region, Myanmar's national carrier announced on Sunday that it would also cancel some domestic flights "due to unavoidable circumstances", without providing details.
