Virgin Atlantic CEO says high jet fuel prices will make 2026 profitability difficult.

Corneel Koster, the CEO of Virgin Atlantic, says that high jet fuel prices are likely to stay high, which will make it hard for the airline to make money again in 2026. Koster said that fuel prices are still more than twice what they were before the conflict because the Middle East is still unstable. The airline now has about six weeks' worth of safe fuel supplies and is working with governments and Heathrow to lower the risks of supply problems.
