  3. UK airlines will be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages.

    New plans allow airlines to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages, without losing valuable take off and landing slots at busy airports.

    Ministers hope the move would help avoid last-minute flight cancellations for passengers this summer over Middle East fuel supplies.

  4. Lufthansa cuts 20 000 flights due to soaring jet fuel.

    Lufthansa said it is removing a total of 20 000 short-haul flights from its schedule until October in an effort to offset the higher cost of jet fuel.

    The German airline said the flights being cut will save about 40 000 metric tons of jet fuel, the price of which has doubled since the outbreak of the Iran conflict.

    Fuel shortage developments.

    I was just talking about this earlier today: that is, the effects not quite being felt yet because of fuel gradually arriving which had set off before the start of the war, and the prediction that the "gap" will arrive in the UK in the next week or two.

    I don't have a car or any plans to fly - but I wonder how much it'll affect trains and buses.

    Roll on renewable power.

  10. Fuel fears grow as UK outlines who would get priority if rationing introduced

    Concerns have been raised following rising tensions in the Middle East and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route. Ministers have not ruled out the possibility of fuel rationing if shortages become severe.

    Under the Government’s National Emergency Plan for Fuel, priority would be given to essential services first. Emergency services and critical response vehicles would be at the front of the queue, followed by utility providers such as gas, electricity and water companies.

    Public transport, including buses and rail services, would then be prioritised, alongside commercial vehicles such as food delivery lorries and health-related transport.

    If shortages continued, restrictions could be introduced for the general public, including limits on how much fuel drivers can buy and reduced opening hours at petrol stations.

    A Government spokesperson stressed that these measures would only be used in the event of a “severe national fuel supply disruption”.

    But there has also been an attempt to reassure the public.

    Housing Secretary Steve Reed said there is currently no immediate need for petrol rationing, despite ministers monitoring the escalating Middle East situation “hour by hour” amid concerns over potential fuel and food shortages.

    The plans come as drivers are already feeling the impact at the pumps.

    According to the RAC, fuel prices have surged in recent weeks — with petrol now averaging 144.51p per litre and diesel 166.24p.

    Fuel prices displayed at a Valero petrol station in St Clears on Monday morning, as costs continue to climb amid global supply concerns.

    RAC head of policy Simon Williams warned the situation is worsening rapidly.

    He said: “Since the conflict began, average petrol prices are now almost 12p higher, while diesel is up by twice that amount.

    “The cost of filling a typical family car with unleaded is now £79.48 — £6.40 more than at the start of March — while diesel has risen by a hefty £13 to £91.43.

    “The oil price has been consistently above the $100 a barrel mark, so unfortunately further rises look all but inevitable this week.

    “The average price of a litre of unleaded is likely to reach 150p, and diesel possibly 180p by Easter.

    “With many people heavily dependent on the car, the pressure on household budgets is beginning to intensify.”

    Llanelli firm already feeling the pain

    The impact is already being felt locally.

    As previously reported by Swansea Bay News, Llanelli-based haulage giant Owens Group has seen its fuel bill soar by around £64,000 a week as diesel prices spike.

    Bosses say costs have jumped by roughly 30% almost overnight, with the company — which runs around 600 vehicles — now forced to buy fuel day-by-day instead of securing prices in advance.

    Industry leaders have warned the knock-on effect is inevitable, with rising transport costs expected to push up the price of everyday goods.

    As one haulage representative put it: “Everything we buy is moved by road at some point.”

    Pressure building

    Despite the concerns, Government sources say the UK’s fuel supply remains “resilient”, with petrol stations currently well stocked and imports continuing as normal.

    Ministers say they are monitoring the situation closely, but have not confirmed whether rationing measures will be needed.

    But with prices climbing, businesses under pressure and contingency plans already in place, fears are growing that the situation could tighten further in the weeks ahead.
