EasyJet has moved to reassure customers amid growing concerns over a potential jet fuel shortage, following a warning from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that Europe could face supply issues within weeks due to the conflict in the Middle East.
The budget airline stated that it is currently not seeing any disruption to jet fuel supplies and has no plans to alter its summer flying schedule. An EasyJet spokesperson confirmed that all airports served are operating normally.
Passengers have taken to social media to express worries about upcoming holidays, particularly in May and June. EasyJet's customer service team has responded, advising that holidays are going ahead as planned and that customers will be contacted if any changes occur.
A UK transport minister, Keir Mather, also addressed the issue, noting that there is no immediate cause for concern and that visibility of fuel supplies extends to mid-May, consistent with pre-crisis levels.
The airline industry continues to monitor the situation closely, with other carriers such as Jet2 and TUI also fielding similar queries from travellers.
