Overview
- Air France‑KLM announced it expects no jet‑fuel supply disruptions this summer and does not plan flight cancellations for that reason, saying its three carriers will operate roughly 2,200 flights per day to more than 320 destinations.
- On Wednesday the group launched a commercial campaign that includes fee‑free ticket modifications for bookings made in specified sales windows, bonus Flying Blue miles on some long‑haul fares, and targeted promotional fares from France.
- The carrier group committed that it will not apply retroactive fuel surcharges to tickets already paid for, a pledge meant to protect customers from higher jet‑fuel costs after purchase.
- The airline’s reassurance follows global disruption to Gulf crude and kerosene exports that has pushed jet‑fuel prices higher and prompted warnings from the IEA and industry bodies about the risk of supply strain.
- European airports report continued kerosene availability so far but elevated prices, and some localized operational strain has already appeared, for example Transavia’s small share of cancellations in May and June.
