Fuel pricing continues to be elevated as a result of geopolitical conflict.

Aviation fuel prices continued their upward trend last month in the U.S., according to the latest report from iFlightPlanner. Full-service jet-A averaged $7.97 per gallon, a 17-cent month-over-month increase. Including only the contiguous 48 states, full-service jet fuel pricing averaged $7.90 per gallon, up 18 cents from July. The central region saw the largest hike, with prices rising by 25 cents month-over-month, while New England saw the highest average price at $8.19 a gallon.

Fuel prices have remained elevated over the past six months, the company noted, with full-service jet fuel pricing rising from $7.64 in March to a recent peak average of $8.07 in May.
