The UK fuel system is built on diverse international supply chains, with multiple import routes and suppliers, ensuring resilience.

My Department and I are working closely with the industry to monitor supply and understand their mitigations and alternative sourcing options. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, and work with airlines and airports to understand mitigations, should any disruption arise.
