The war in the Middle East and the EU's new entry-exit system risk causing severe travel disruption this summer, with airports warning jet fuel could run short within three weeks.
Following the outbreak of war at the end of February, the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed, leading to supply problems that may result in flight cancellations. Airports have cautioned that the fuel shortage could hit operations in the coming weeks.
In addition, longer border checks under the EU's new entry-exit system have caused long queues at passport control for Britons and most non-EU nationals, with some passengers missing flights as a result.
