## Michael O'Leary highlights potential jet fuel shortages this summer
Michael O'Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, has raised concerns regarding potential disruptions to jet fuel supplies that could significantly impact holiday travel for thousands of Britons. Speaking in an interview, O'Leary expressed unease over the current fuel supply situation, emphasizing that increased costs may soon affect consumers.
In his remarks, O'Leary noted, "The reality is that prices will start feeding through to the consumer towards the back end of the summer, but equally it depends what happens to fuel prices," according to Reuters. He also described Ryanair's fuel management strategy as "reasonably well hedged," indicating that the airline is making efforts to mitigate the impact of rising costs.
The warning comes as holidaymakers prepare for the peak summer travel season, amidst rising concerns over fuel availability and pricing. This situation could lead to higher fares and a frustrating travel experience for many British families looking forward to summer getaways.
