Ottawa Now - Why the Iran War could soon make it more expensive to book a flight

March 12, 2026

Oil has reached its highest price tag since 2022, coming in at nearly $120 per barrel on Tuesday before slumping to just $90 per barrel. Obviously, you've seen the rising gas prices by now. But the ongoing conflict in Iran is also driving up the price of transport goods, which could mean higher prices for everyday essentials. And if the price of airline fuel is going up, then passengers might be feeling the burn when trying to book a flight. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with aviation expert John Gradek, who has also held senior roles at Air Canada during his decorated career in the industry.
