According to data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global air travel demand declined by 0.8% in August 2026 compared to the same month in 2025. The Middle East experienced a sharp decrease, with demand dropping by 14.6%, and international flight demand fell by 14.2%. The decline is attributed to rising energy prices and geopolitical instability, especially following the war with Iran that began in February 2026, which affected travel between the Middle East and Asia, recording an 11.7% decrease. Meanwhile, global demand for international flights continued to decline by 0.9%, with limited growth in Europe and increased demand in Africa and Latin America. On the domestic front, global demand for domestic flights declined slightly by 0.5%, with travel activity decreasing in key markets such as India and the United States, despite increased demand in China, Brazil, and Australia. This reflects the impact of geopolitical conditions and energy prices on the airline industry.
