US airlines’ monthly fuel spending topped $6 billion again in May, up 84% from year ago

U.S. airlines spent $6.66 billion on jet fuel in May, an 84% increase from May 2025, driven by higher prices rather than increased consumption. Fuel costs have risen due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz from the Middle East conflict, though recent declines in prices offer some relief to airlines.
