Brussels Airlines will not cancel flights currently despite potential jet fuel shortages due to the Middle East conflict. The airline has secured 80% of its jet fuel needs for 2026 through a hedging strategy. Lufthansa Group does not expect disruptions in kerosene supply in the next six weeks. To manage high fuel costs, Brussels Airlines will end free hand-luggage on short- and medium-haul flights. EU officials state that no fuel shortages have been reported, and high fuel prices do not justify flight cancellations. The Commission emphasizes the need for proof of fuel shortages for airlines to cancel flights.
