00:00Could your holiday flight be canceled because of jet fuel?
00:02A growing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran is raising global concerns.
00:09Reports say the last tanker carrying jet fuel from the Gulf to the United Kingdom is about to arrive.
00:15That sounds scary, but airlines say there is no need to panic yet.
00:19The U.K. still imports aviation fuel from the U.S., India, and the Netherlands.
00:25So flights during April are expected to operate normally.
00:28But experts warn the situation could change quickly.
00:32The CEO of Ryanair says fuel supplies in Europe could drop by 10 to 25 percent if the conflict continues.
00:39And the biggest risk lies around the Strait of Hormuz.
00:42If that route stays disrupted, fuel shipments may slow down.
00:46Some Asian countries are already feeling the impact.
00:49Flights in Vietnam and the Philippines have started getting canceled.
00:53Meanwhile, Pakistan has advised airlines to arrive with extra fuel.
00:57But here is the good news.
00:59Major airlines already locked in cheaper fuel prices earlier.
01:03So passengers will not be charged extra for existing tickets.
01:07However future ticket prices could rise, if your flight gets canceled, airlines must refund you or provide another flight for
01:14free.
01:15So for now, your holiday flight is likely safe.
01:18But if the conflict continues, turbulence in the skies may be coming.
01:22So for now, your holiday flight is going to be coming.
01:22So for now, your holiday, I'll be coming to be coming.
