Airlines promise no extra holiday charges despite fuel crisis fears
- Major airlines have rushed to reassure holidaymakers they won’t face extra charges despite soaring jet fuel costs sparked by Middle East tensions.
- Jet2, easyJet and TUI have all confirmed they will not impose surcharges on pre-booked holidays or flights. The airlines moved quickly to calm passenger fears after fuel prices rocketed due to the ongoing conflict.
- Neil Swanson, Managing Director at TUI UK&I, said: “Our teams are here to support people who are thinking about booking, and those who have already booked with TUI can be reassured that their holiday price is fixed, with no fuel surcharges added.”
- EasyJet pledged no surcharges will apply to any pre-booked holiday packages or new bookings for summer 2026. The airline said it currently sees no disruption to its jet fuel supply and all operations continue normally.
- Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy declared: “Holidaymakers should have every right to book their hard-earned break in the sun, without worrying about being hit with additional costs.” The airline has eliminated surcharge provisions across all flights and holidays booked through any channel.
- The Department for Transport issued guidance stating there is no current need for passengers to change travel plans. Officials said UK airlines buy jet fuel in advance and airports maintain stocks to support resilience.
- However, British Airways parent company IAG has discussed “pricing adjustments to reflect these higher fuel costs” despite not seeing supply interruptions.
