Fuel Surge Sends Travel Stocks Plunging as Airlines and Cruises Lead Losses
Barron’s reports travel stocks tumbled early, led by Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line down about 6%–7% and Royal Caribbean around 5.5%, with United Airlines down roughly 4.2% and Delta Air Lines about 2.9%, as oil prices jumped on Middle East tensions and jet/marine fuel costs are expected to rise. The writers say the fuel-price surge poses a bigger profit risk for airlines and cruise operators than passenger disruptions, even as some routes face disruptions or cancellations.
