After failing to secure a bail-out(紧急救助（通常指政府提供资金）) from the American government, Spirit Airlines abruptly cancelled all its flights and began to unwind(逐步处理、解除（资产等）) its assets. The company’s financial officer said it would try to sell the aircraft it owns outright but would abandon the planes to lenders if it cannot. The low-cost carrier(低成本航空公司（廉价航空）) had hoped to leave bankruptcy protection(破产保护（美国法律中的第11章重组）) in the coming months. But the increase in jet-fuel costs as a result of the Iran conflict worsened its financial position. It had struggled with its debt burden for several years. A proposed merger with JetBlue was blocked on antitrust grounds(反垄断理由（法律上的反对依据）) in 2024.
在未能从美国政府获得救助后，精神航空突然取消所有航班并开始处置资产。公司财务官表示，其将尝试出售自有飞机，但如果无法售出，则将飞机留给贷款人。这家低成本航空公司原本希望在几个月内脱离破产保护，但伊朗冲突导致航空燃油成本上升，进一步恶化了其财务状况。它多年来一直背负债务负担，与捷蓝航空的合并计划也于2024年因反垄断原因被否决。
Other airlines have been forced to cut or rejig(重新调整（计划、安排等）) flight schedules because of higher fuel prices. Meanwhile, the chief executive of Chevron became the latest voice to warn(最新一个发出警告的声音/人物) of an impending(即将发生的、迫在眉睫的) global shortage of oil supply because of the lengthy(长时间的、冗长的) closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Mike Wirth noted that Asia and Europe would be hit hard, and that it would take a bit longer for America to feel the effects.
其他航空公司因燃油价格上涨而被迫削减或调整航班计划。与此同时，雪佛龙首席执行官成为最新一位警告全球石油供应即将短缺的声音，原因是霍尔木兹海峡长期关闭。迈克·沃思指出，亚洲和欧洲将受到严重冲击，而美国感受到影响则需要更长时间。
Shell reported its best quarterly profit in two years as its trading desk(交易部门（负责金融交易）) benefited from the volatility(波动性（价格频繁大幅变动）) in oil markets. It expects a big fall in gas production for the second quarter, however, because of the Iran war. Chevron and ExxonMobil reported a drop in profit despite higher oil prices, but both pointed out that this was to do with the timing of financial hedges(金融对冲（锁定价格以降低风险）).
壳牌公布了两年来最佳的季度利润，其交易部门受益于石油市场的波动。然而，由于伊朗战争，它预计第二季度天然气产量将大幅下降。雪佛龙和埃克森美孚尽管油价上涨，但利润下降，不过两者均指出这与金融对冲的时机有关。
