TUI Updates Travel Information for Holidaymakers

TUI has updated guidance for customers due to travel amid concerns over jet fuel and flight routes. British holidaymakers are asking airlines about summer getaway disruptions.
The world's leading energy watchdog warned Europe has six weeks' worth of jet fuel left due to the Middle East conflict. TUI has addressed passengers directly in a fresh statement.
TUI said: 'We reassure customers that their safety is our highest priority. We are monitoring the Middle East situation and UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office guidance.'
There is no advice against travel to TUI destinations. Holidays are continuing as planned, and customers in resort are enjoying their breaks. TUI reviews updates and contacts impacted customers directly.
Customers can refer to the FCDO Travel Advice website for the latest information. TUI is monitoring the Middle East situation and FCDO guidance. The FCDO advises against travel to the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain.
Flights to and from the UK have been impacted due to airspace restrictions in the UAE and Qatar, causing delays or cancellations.
TUI will contact customers due to travel to the UAE or Qatar on or before May 1 to discuss options.
TUI is working through bookings in departure date order. Customers can call 0203 451 2688, but there may be a delay in answering due to high call volumes.
Passengers are asking TUI on social media about May and June holidays. TUI said it will inform passengers of any changes at the earliest opportunity.
EasyJet revealed the Middle East conflict cost it £25 million in elevated jet fuel prices last month. EasyJet anticipates a headline pre-tax loss of £540-560 million.
Oil prices surged due to Iran's grip on tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz, creating uncertainty around fuel costs and customer demand.
Bookings have dropped two percentage points for the three months ending in June and September. EasyJet chief executive Kenton Jarvis said all airports are operating as normal.
EasyJet has visibility to the middle of May and has no concerns. Airports and fuel suppliers are working well to bring jet fuel to airports.
The International Energy Agency warned Europe has maybe six weeks of jet fuel left. Flight cancellations could occur soon if oil supplies continue to be restricted.
A Government spokesperson said they are engaging with British airlines to support operations and limit the impact on passengers.
Most airlines purchase aviation fuel in advance, but the Government is working with international allies to reopen the Strait as soon as possible.
