Jet fuel supplies could be disrupted in May and June if the war in Iran continues, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has said. Ryanair chief executive Mr O’Leary told Sky News that disruption to jet fuel supplies was not expected until May. He said that Ryanair has already bought 80% of its fuel, but that rising fuel prices have resulted in aviation fuel costs doubling to $150 a barrel. He has his finger on the pulse of this,” Mr O'Brien said. When asked whether people will be advised to holiday at home, Mr O’Brien said the Government is “not looking at curtailing travel at this stage”.
