Jet2, EasyJet, and Ryanair: Key Flight Updates for UK Travellers This June 2026

Crystal Travel | Travel News | 14 May 2026

Jet2, EasyJet, and Ryanair issue key updates on fuel supply, fares, and safety for UK travellers this June.

Before You Fly This June

The summer holiday season is firmly underway, and with June approaching fast, millions of British travellers are preparing to fly. Amid ongoing industry-wide concerns about fuel costs and disruption across European airspace, three of the UK's biggest leisure airlines have issued updates that every holidaymaker should read before heading to the airport.

EasyJet Confirms No Fuel Disruption and Launches Confidence Promise

EasyJet has confirmed to passengers in a statement that it is not experiencing any disruption to its fuel supply and that all flights are currently operating as normal. The clarification will be a relief to the many UK travellers with easyJet bookings already in place for the summer, particularly given the wider noise around fuel availability that has surrounded the aviation industry in recent weeks.

In a further show of commitment, the airline has launched a new Book With Confidence Promise, offering customers greater flexibility when securing new bookings. It is a timely and reassuring move that reflects the airline's determination to keep passengers confident in their summer travel plans.

Passengers should also take note of an important onboard safety warning ahead of the busy season. EasyJet has reminded all customers that vaping devices and e-cigarettes must be switched off before boarding, and that using or charging them on board is strictly forbidden. Passengers found in breach of the policy risk a lifetime ban from the airline. Those travelling with spare lithium batteries are advised to check easyJet's current hand luggage guidance before packing.

Ryanair Confirms Stable Fuel Outlook for Summer Flights

Ryanair CEO Says Fuel Risk Is Easing and Fares Will Stay Competitive

Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary has delivered an encouraging message for British summer travellers, stating that the risk of a jet fuel supply shortage in Europe, linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, is now receding. O'Leary confirmed that fuel suppliers have told the airline they see no risk of disruption in the near term, providing a more settled outlook as the peak holiday season gets into full swing.

O'Leary also predicted that Ryanair's strong fuel hedging position would allow the airline to keep fares competitive while rival European carriers face growing cost pressures. For travellers still looking to book or considering last-minute options this June, this suggests Ryanair is likely to remain one of the more affordable choices on popular short-haul routes.

Passengers booked to certain Spanish destinations should, however, check their flights. Ryanair has adjusted parts of its Spanish network following a commercial dispute over airport charges. Major Spanish destinations remain unaffected, but those flying to smaller regional airports are encouraged to confirm their bookings directly with the airline.

Jet2 Delivers Its Biggest Ever Summer Programme

Jet2 is having a landmark season. The airline has launched operations at London Gatwick Airport for the first time, significantly broadening its reach for passengers across the South of England. Its Greek island programme is the most extensive in the airline's history, with increased services departing from regional airports across England and Scotland. Jet2 now flies from 14 UK airports, strengthening its reputation as one of Britain's most accessible and well-regarded leisure carriers.

Advice for UK Travellers This Summer

Whichever airline you are flying with, it pays to be prepared. Allow extra time at the airport, as processing and border checks across Europe are taking longer than in previous years. Review your airline's baggage and device rules, take out comprehensive travel insurance, and monitor your booking in the days before departure. If your flight is cancelled or significantly changed, you are entitled under UK law to a refund or alternative routing. Always consult your travel agent before making any changes to your booking.
