Wharton’s Gad Allon discusses the multifaceted impact of tariffs on the airline industry, emphasizing how globally distributed supply chains make maintenance and manufacturing more expensive. He explains that rising costs—especially for parts like engines and landing gear—will likely lead to higher ticket prices, fewer flight routes, and aging fleets. Low-cost carriers and complex airlines are expected to be hit hardest, as they have less financial flexibility to absorb these increased expenses.
