Jet2 warns on summer fuel, reassures UK travellers
Jet2 said Wednesday it plans to run its summer flight schedule as planned and will hold off on fuel surcharges for flights and holidays already booked. The company pointed to reports of boosted fuel production and increased imports from regions outside the Middle East conflict. Jet2 made the statement for customers concerned about jet fuel supplies heading into the peak travel season. European airlines are heading into the summer rush while jet fuel prices are still high. Jet fuel, the main fuel for passenger planes, has doubled from pre-Iran war levels, Reuters reported last week. Flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain disrupted and that’s hitting supply, with airlines and airports trying to reassure travellers.
