Mark Tanzer statement on fuel shortages and cancellations speculation

Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive of ABTA – The Travel Association said:

“We really don’t want people worrying about their holidays; planes are taking off daily and people are continuing to get away on their holidays. The Government and airlines are clear that there isn’t a problem with fuel supply. If you have a holiday booked in for the coming months – including the May half term – we expect it to go ahead as planned. 

“Whilst there have been reports about cancellations globally, these amount to less than one percent of overall flights.”
