The Government is working closely with industry to ensure the resilience of jet fuel supply and the continuity of commercial aviation operations.

The UK has robust and diverse jet fuel supply chains, including domestic production and imports via multiple international routes, and both aviation fuel suppliers and airlines maintain fuel reserves to support operational resilience.

We are engaging with industry partners to monitor supply and demand, and to develop contingency options should disruption arise. Northern Ireland airports and airlines serving Northern Ireland have been involved in these conversations.
