May Day holiday saw a large number of flights cancelled due to soaring oil prices.

The "May Day" holiday is approaching, and many people are planning to travel. However, reporters have found that many netizens have recently reported on social media platforms that their pre-booked flights have been canceled. The topic of massive flight cancellations has become a hot search. "May Day canceled Shanghai-Bangkok round-trip tickets, directly canceling the entire route, there is no chance to rebook." Many travelers have reported that there are large-scale flight cancellations for flights from China to Southeast Asia, involving popular destinations such as Bangkok, Phuket, and Vientiane. So what is the reason for the flight cancellations? Qi Qi, an expert from the China Civil Aviation High-Quality Development Research Center, said, "High oil prices, especially high aviation kerosene prices, and the availability of aviation kerosene are the direct reasons. This mass cancellation is not mainly caused by domestic airlines, but by foreign airlines, especially airlines in Southeast Asia. They themselves do not have strong refining capabilities, and almost all aviation kerosene depends on imports. The recent Middle East war has had a significant impact on their entire aviation kerosene supply chain. They are canceling flights not only because of prices, but also because they really have no fuel to add."
