UK governement statement on jet fuel

There is more detail here.

It’s worth being aware that there is a drive from airlines to include fuel shortages as ‘extraordinary circumstances’ to avoid paying compensation for disruption.

Thanks, Frank, that's good to know.

Emma, the BBC article has a paywall although I get the gist of what it is saying. I can't say that I blame them for pushing to make it an "extraordinary circumstance." It's not really their fault that the fuel shortage is happening.

Thanks Frank II. This is a great post to calm all the concerns about flying in and out of Europe due to jet fuel concerns.

The pinch in supplies will likely come a bit later in the UK than in some other European countries but it is not immune to the problem.

Threadwear, apparently not 🤣😂
