European airlines warn: Flights threatened by fuel crisis

Many European airlines are considering canceling flights and holidays in the coming weeks and months if the fuel crisis they are experiencing due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues. This means that thousands of families in Europe are at risk of having their summer trips canceled, in addition to the already high prices that may deter many from booking and forgoing travel altogether during the summer holidays.
High costs

One of the largest airlines in Europe has issued a warning to travelers that fuel shortages threaten holidays and travel in the coming weeks, and this should be taken into account.

The shortage of jet fuel continues to threaten European holiday plans, as costs soar to unprecedented levels following Iran's de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The British newspaper Metro, in a report seen by Al Arabiya Business, quoted the company's CEO, Kenton Jarvis, as saying: "We only have a clear vision until mid-May.".

Complete stop

In the Netherlands, KLM announced it would cancel dozens of flights on several of its busiest routes due to high fuel costs, totaling 160 flights, equally divided between departures and arrivals at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.

German airlines have also grounded dozens of aircraft, and Nigerian airlines are threatening to cease flying altogether if costs do not decrease soon.
