easyJet Issues Update to Travellers with Holidays Booked in May Amid Fuel Fears
The airline said it is seeing no disruption to flights and will keep its flying schedule unchanged while monitoring Middle East fuel supply risks.
- On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, easyJet announced it is seeing "no disruption to flights" and plans no schedule changes despite jet fuel shortage concerns affecting European aviation.
- Earlier this month, Airports Council International warned of a "systemic" shortage if the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen within three weeks, a blockade stemming from the US-Israel and Iran conflict.
- Javier Gándara, easyJet's country director for southern Europe, told the Majorca Daily Bulletin that forecasting the situation is "difficult" beyond "three or four weeks," heightening uncertainty for summer travelers.
- Concerned passengers have queried on X whether holidays to Tunisia between May 16 and 30 face cancellation; easyJet responded it engages with fuel suppliers and government to monitor operations.
- Elsewhere, TUI confirmed it is "monitoring" jet fuel shortages caused by the Middle East conflict, though the airline anticipates no immediate disruptions as the peak summer season approaches.
