What happened
easyJet holidays secured fixed fuel prices for its 2026 supply, despite global volatility driven by the Iran conflict. Industry executives noted that while some anxieties, such as widespread border chaos, did not materialize, the cost of fuel remains high. Neil Swanson, managing director of Tui UK & Ireland, stated that airlines like easyJet and Ryanair secured much of their 2026 fuel supply at a fixed price. However, Swanson also warned that airlines are now cutting capacity for winter, leading to higher consumer costs.

Why it matters
The ability of easyJet and Ryanair to fix fuel costs helped them avoid immediate impact from geopolitical events. However, industry warnings suggest that airlines will become less hedged, leading to increased prices for consumers and reduced capacity in the market.
The war with Iran caused surging jet fuel prices while demand for autumn travel is growing in Europe.
