Highlights

Airlines worldwide have removed more than 13,000 flights from their May schedules as the ongoing conflict in Iran causes severe jet fuel shortages and sharp price increases, according to aviation analytics company Cirium.
The cancellations represent nearly two million passenger seats cut from global schedules.
Cirium analysed flight data between 10 April and 21 April, finding that total scheduled flights for May dropped from 859,162 to 846,162 as fuel shortages worsened.

German airports are experiencing the worst disruptions, with Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart seeing the most cancellations.

Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline, announced last month it would cancel 20,000 flights because of rising fuel costs.
