Airlines globally have been forced to cancel 13,000 flights due to soaring jet fuel prices, primarily driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The crisis has particularly impacted the UK, where 1,468 flights have been scrapped from major airports, including 846 cancellations at London Heathrow, affecting over 151,000 seats. Other airports like Birmingham and Glasgow have also seen significant reductions in their flight schedules. Major carriers such as Lufthansa are cutting 20,000 routes between May and October to manage fuel costs, while Turkish Airlines has canceled over 3,000 flights. Additionally, Air Canada and Qantas are also scaling back their operations due to the increased cost of jet fuel, which has doubled since the onset of the Iran conflict. The situation has raised concerns about the availability of jet fuel and the potential for further cancellations throughout the summer travel season. Passengers are encouraged to stay informed and check for updates from their airlines regarding affected flights.
