UK airlines to be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages | BBC News
Airlines will be able to cancel flights weeks in advance, without losing valuable take off and landing slots at busy airports, if they face fuel shortages this summer.
New plans drawn up by the government will let carriers plan ahead, helping to avoid disruptive last-minute cancellations for passengers.
The proposals would allow airlines to merge flights on routes with multiple trips to the same destination on the same day, meaning passengers could be moved from their original booking to a similar one to save fuel.
The UK imports about 65% of the jet fuel it uses, a significant portion of which comes from the Middle East under normal circumstances. But, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz means those supplies cannot get through.

The US and Iran have signed a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding, triggering a 60-day period to reach a final agreement.
It includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and sets out a $300bn plan for Iran’s “reconstruction”.
US President Donald Trump has hit out at critics of his deal, saying those accusing him of being soft on Iran were “fools” who might be jealous.
His Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, said the accord was a sign of his country’s “national resilience”.
