Air France-KLM has confirmed that it does not expect any flight cancellations this summer due to jet fuel shortages, providing reassurance to British holidaymakers planning travel in July and August.
In a joint statement, the airline group said it will be able to operate its full flight schedule during the peak season, despite concerns over fuel availability following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Smith said: “Air France, KLM and Transavia will transport all their customers this summer. We are continuously monitoring fuel availability at the destinations we serve and, as highlighted by the French and Dutch governments in recent weeks, all indicators are positive for the July and August peak travel season.”
The group will operate nearly 2,200 flights per day to over 320 destinations globally during this period. To offer additional peace of mind, Air France, KLM and Transavia are launching a promotional campaign from June 3, 2026, offering free ticket changes for departures from France, with similar flexibility for Dutch-originating travel.
The statement also confirmed that no fare adjustments will be applied to existing bookings if fuel costs rise, allowing customers to book with confidence.
