What happens when you don't tick the "add wings for €15" box on Ryanair.

[Stansaid Airport @StansaidAirport]

A few delays on the 15:40 to Alicante. The pilot's not happy with a couple of things, so it's a tow back to the gate I'm afraid. Shouldn't take long to fix though.

Virgin Atlantic's CEO told the FT yesterday they have visibility on jet fuel supplies until at least the end of May - which is standard for the industry.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

As I just said on ITV’s News at Ten, ministerial and industry sources say the UK is two or three weeks away from shortages of diesel and jet fuel, though petrol suppliers are healthier. This means Starmer’s new Middle East Response Committee will soon face difficult decisions on how to make sure supplies get to critical users, how to ration more generally and how to price. But, as I mentioned, ministers say supplies and stocks of petrol remain decent, so no need to queue at pumps
