Jet2 has warned passengers about potential flight delays starting April 17, 2026. This comes as Spanish Air Traffic Control prepares for strike action.
As of early Tuesday, Lufthansa has grounded up to 27 planes due to soaring kerosene prices. The ongoing conflict in Iran is a significant factor in this increase.
KLM has also scrapped 160 flights over the next month. Rising kerosene costs are affecting multiple airlines across Europe.
Europe currently has approximately six weeks of jet fuel remaining. The head of the International Energy Agency cautioned that flight cancellations could happen soon if oil supplies remain constrained.
EasyJet reported a £25 million loss last month due to skyrocketing jet fuel prices. They are feeling the pressure from the ongoing energy crisis.
Jet2 advised passengers to arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure. They emphasized potential delays as a result of the situation.
TUI stated it is monitoring the situation closely and does not anticipate immediate disruption. However, uncertainties loom over future flight schedules.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact impact of the fuel shortage on operations. The duration of the strike by Spanish Air Traffic Control is also unclear—adding further complications for travelers.
