The airline and operator has once again played down worries about jet fuel supply amid the conflict in the Middle East with the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of the world's oil and gas supplies are shipped, still closed.

“We are in regular dialogue with our fuel suppliers, and the current picture is one of increased production and imports, meaning we continue to look ahead with confidence," said Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Chief Executive Steve Heapy.

"We have already been very clear about our plans to operate our schedule as normal this summer, and our message to holidaymakers is that summer is on."
