How will this trickle down into the next earnings reports for major airlines??

From Bloomberg
"Global stocks stumbled as a batch of downbeat corporate earnings fanned fresh concerns in a market that’s already grappling with the prospect of a damaging US trade war.
S&P 500 futures dropped about 0.4%. FedEx Corp. tumbled 8% in pre-market trading after cutting earnings forecasts as inflation and uncertain demand for shipments squeeze the parcel company’s bottom line. Nike Inc. slid about 6% as it signaled declines in profitability, in part due to US tariffs on products from China and Mexico.
The dour earnings add to concerns over a worsening global economic outlook, especially ahead of President Donald Trump’s April 2 deadline for a series of broad reciprocal tariffs. While the Federal Reserve has indicated it sees room to cut interest rates, many economists fear the inflationary impact of tariffs will hinder central banks from delivering support to slowing economies.
“The Fed revised their growth forecast lower earlier this week, so the whole street is moving their forecast lower. But they could have further to go,” said Michael Metcalfe, head of macro strategy at State Street Global Markets. “We just need to see whether what we’ve seen so far this year is the start of something more serious in terms of slow growth.”"
