Overview
- TUI said May half‑term flights will run as planned with no fuel‑related cancellations and promised no fuel surcharges.
- The UK government said airlines report no current jet‑fuel shortfall and told passengers there is no need to change plans while it monitors risks with industry.
- Jet2 reported more customers choosing packages, with 51% now preferring them, and said it will operate its summer schedule without adding surcharges to existing bookings.
- Consumer adviser Martin Lewis urged travelers to consider packages because ATOL and ABTA cover can refund the whole trip if flights are canceled, unlike separate flight‑and‑hotel bookings.
- Data show limited impact so far, with 0.53% of May flights canceled and about 1,200 UK departures cut since May 3, though analysts warn the UK remains vulnerable due to reliance on imports through the closed Strait of Hormuz.
