Jet fuel shortages are threatening UK airlines, with global shipments at a record low due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Major carriers warn of limited supplies, potentially impacting summer holidays. The government is considering allowing UK airlines to use US jet fuel to mitigate cancellations. Airline stocks have been volatile, with some companies like IAG planning price hikes, while others like Jet2 avoid surcharges. Analysts suggest airlines are hesitant to cut flight capacity, hoping for a resolution to the crisis, as government rules may change to ease the impact on smaller carriers.

Easyjet tops FTSE 100 as airline, travel shares rocket after Hormuz reopening

Easyjet forecasts a pre-tax loss of £540m to £560m for the first half of the financial year due to disruptions from the Middle East conflict and rising operational costs. The airline faced increased jet fuel prices, with 18% of its fuel purchased in March adding £25m to losses. Additionally, Easyjet incurred £30m in legal provisions. CEO Kenton Jarvis noted that the financial performance has worsened year on year, but operational plans for peak summer are on track.

The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) is causing significant delays for British passengers, leading to missed Easyjet flights. The EES requires non-EU nationals to register biometric data, but issues like long queues and tech failures have been reported. Easyjet held a flight for nearly an hour, but passengers still missed it, with some incurring costs over £1,000 for alternative flights. Airlines are not liable for delays caused by the visa system, and passengers are advised to arrive early at airports to avoid issues. Waiting times at border control are currently two to three hours during peak times.

UK airlines face potential fuel shortages in five to six weeks due to the ongoing conflict in Iran affecting the Strait of Hormuz. While Asian carriers have already cut routes, UK airlines are currently insulated by diverse oil sources and hedging contracts. Ryanair's CEO warned of a 10-25% risk to supplies in May and June if the situation doesn't improve. Despite rising jet fuel prices, UK airlines saw stock gains as optimism grew over a resolution to the conflict. Airlines UK reported no immediate disruptions to fuel supply.
