It could be a while before airline fares drop despite a decline in oil prices following the Iran agreement and it all has to do with the demand, according to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan.

Quoting a post by a user on X on Wednesday, De Haan said that airlines had optimized their capacity due to "high fuel prices/summer," adding that he expects a handful of deals for "less utilized routes."

De Haan said that a "full drop in fares" was difficult, at least until demand dropped sometime in August, but "moreso in the fall when there will be way more capacity than demand."

airlines trimmed/optimized capacity for high fuel prices/summer, so I'd expect a only few deals to pop up on less utilized routes, but not a full drop in fares until demand drops (mid/late August) but moreso in the fall when there will be way more capacity than demand https://t.co/t9AsZmEcCM
