UK airlines to be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages

UK airlines will be able to cancel flights weeks in advance without losing valuable takeoff and landing slots at busy airports if they face fuel shortages this summer. The government has drawn up new plans to allow carriers to plan ahead, helping to avoid disruptive last-minute cancellations. Although airlines are not currently experiencing fuel supply issues, experts warn that disruptions due to the Iran war could lead to shortages in the coming weeks.
