France expects minimal summer flight cancellations despite jet fuel shortage concerns says minister

Airlines are holding back because summer profits matter

France’s transport minister says major flight cancellations are unlikely this summer even as Europe faces jet fuel shortage risks. Philippe Tabarot says airlines are reluctant to disrupt peak travel weeks because revenues are highest then, though some have cut capacity slightly. The government is also preparing aid, while European authorities push for solutions to avoid broader aviation disruption tied to Middle East fuel imports.
