More than 100 flights departing from UK airports have been cancelled this month, new figures show, as surging jet fuel prices spark fears of shortages.
Aviation analytics firm Cirium reported 120 of the 22,613 scheduled May departures from British airports, or 0.53 per cent, have been axed. For June, 36 fewer outbound flights are now planned compared to a week ago, a 0.2 per cent reduction removing 7,972 seats.
