Kenya Airways has reported a significant surge in flight demand, attributing the increase to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the US-Israeli war on Iran. This comes as Asian stock markets experienced a significant downturn as tensions between the United States and Iran threatened to escalate, with the conflict entering its fourth week. Global oil prices simultaneously plummeted and stock markets rallied after US President Donald Trump announced progress in talks aimed at halting the conflict in the Middle East. At the same time, COMESA warned businesses across its member states against exploiting the Middle East crisis for price gouging and engaging in anti-competitive practices.
