"Ryanair’s O’Leary warns European airlines could fail if jet fuel price doesn’t fall"

Interesting article linked above. On the positive side, the UK/Europe has arranged alternate supply lines for jet fuel in the near term.

The Strait can remain closed thru mid-June now without needing substantial flight reductions. And of course many/most are hopeful the Strait will be open long before then.

“If pricing stays higher for longer this summer, we think a number of
our airline competitors in Europe are going to face real financial
difficulties,” he said.

“I think there will be failures,” O’Leary added. “If it continues at
$150 a barrel into July, August, September, then you’ll see European
airlines fail and that, in the medium term, would probably be good for
Ryanair’s business.”

He added: “We are the best insulated, most hedged airline in Europe.”

Happy travels.
