There will be no fuel shortage if managed correctly6 May 2026 08:50
Flights are being cancelled due to poor hedging making marginal routes loss making. European/UK refineries (the ones that are left) have the jet fuel turned up to 11. There is enough north sea light crude supply from Norway to feed the refineries and profits from recently doubled aviation fuel create a race to market for dynamic producers who sign contracts first.
Everyone will pay more (in the end) but the turbines will still spin across the UK and Europe. If not, the politicians throughout Europe/UK are finished and they know it. We won't watch the Chinese, US, Russians holiday while we sit it out in blightly like a 3rd world country.
