Jet2 holidays changes to 14 day rule for all travellers and sends email
Jet2 says thousands of customers will get travel documents 14 days before departure as holidaymakers question whether jet fuel shortages could disrupt summer flights.
Airline Jet2 reassured holidaymakers that all flights are planned to go ahead as normal, pledging to contact passengers directly if booking changes become necessary amid fuel supply concerns.
The ongoing Middle East conflict has triggered global aviation fuel supply concerns, as Iran maintains a blockade on tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz, leading to several attacks on vessels.
Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, warned that flight cancellations could occur "soon" if oil supplies remain restricted, calling it "the largest energy crisis we have ever faced."
While carriers like United Airlines and KLM have adjusted flight schedules, easyJet confirmed it has fuel supply visibility through mid-May and maintains normal operations despite industry-wide uncertainty.
The ongoing conflict has generated "near-term uncertainty around fuel costs and customer demand" as major carriers monitor the developing situation in the Middle East to assess potential impacts.
