## Resource

The country's biggest airlines are about to report financial results for the second quarter, which just so happens to have been at the height of the Iran war and all its economic disruption. That's left airlines between a rock and a hard place. It's gotten more expensive to fly, so airlines need to raise prices, but consumers are inflation-wary. We dig in, then learn how the economics of touring have changed for indie bands. Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to our daily or weekly newsletter .
