"Airports have said jet fuel could run short within three weeks as a result of supply problems after the strait of Hormuz was effectively closed when war broke out at the end of February."
"The price of oil has jumped to a high of $119 a barrel in March, from $72 before the war, indicating severe supply issues."
"There's a growing chance that leisure flights could start being cancelled from May if carriers are unable to source enough fuel from other producing nations."
"In a situation like a fuel shortage, where circumstances can shift quickly, airlines could cancel on the day of departure."
The war in the Middle East has caused significant jet fuel supply issues, with airports warning of potential shortages within three weeks. The closure of the strait of Hormuz has severely impacted oil supply, causing prices to rise sharply. Airports Council International Europe has indicated that without stable fuel supply, flight cancellations are likely. Leisure flights may be affected starting in May if airlines cannot secure enough fuel. Passengers are entitled to refunds or alternative flights in case of cancellations, with compensation possible for last-minute changes.
