TUI Boss Issues Thursday Lunchtime Half Term Fuel Supply Update
Cirium data shows 120 UK flights were cancelled this month, while officials said airlines can seek relief from slot rules if fuel shortages disrupt service.
- Airport Coordination Limited updated guidance to allow airlines to apply for 'use it or lose it' slot exemptions if fuel shortages prevent flying, addressing 120 UK flight cancellations this month representing 0.53 per cent of planned departures.

- The government is seeking industry views on slot rules for the summer 2026 and winter 2026 seasons as it assesses potential long-term adjustments to aviation scheduling.
