Ryanair chief executive Mr O’Leary told Sky News that disruption to jet fuel supplies was not expected until May. If the war finishes and the Strait of Hormuz is opened by the middle or end of April, then there’s no risk to supply. “There’s a particular focus on aviation because of the sizeable portion of jet fuel that comes through the Strait of Hormuz,” Mr O’Brien said.
