🇬🇧✈️ The #UK government has announced contingency plans to reduce the risk of flight disruption during the summer holidays, amid ongoing global uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict. While there are currently no jet fuel supply issues, a rapid consultation will consider temporarily relaxing airport slot rules, allowing #airlines to adjust schedules in advance. Measures could include consolidating flights, returning unused slots without penalty, and avoiding near-empty services, helping minimise last-minute cancellations.

Ministers say #travellers remain entitled to refunds or re-routing if flights are cancelled, and to assistance during significant delays. Industry leaders have welcomed the proactive approach, stressing operations remain normal but supporting contingency planning.
