UK airlines are clear that they are not currently seeing a shortage of jet fuel. In the UK, jet fuel is typically bought in advance, while aviation fuel suppliers keep stocks of bunkered fuel to support their resilience.
There is no current need to change upcoming travel plans. The Government regularly meets with industry to monitor risks and will provide clear guidance should circumstances change.
Passengers who experience long delays or flight cancellations have specific rights which are set out in UK law.
We advise passengers to continue checking with their airlines before they travel, and to check the FCDO travel advice for the latest updates. You should also ensure you have appropriate travel insurance.
