Rerouting involves complex logistical changes that carry high price tags.

Fuel burn increases roughly linearly with flight time.
Airspace transit fees vary significantly between different countries.
Missing a connection due to a reroute adds further accommodation and meal costs.

Airlines use sophisticated software to find the most cost-effective alternative paths.

Extra fuel consumption is the biggest factor, followed by aircraft maintenance cycles and potential crew overtime pay.

Usually the airline absorbs the operational cost, but passengers may pay extra if they choose a different route during a voluntary rebooking.
