So the travel industry is very used to things like this happening and external shocks, you know, are normal.

But it does look like indeed that this is possibly a little bit scarier with, you know, very, very scary wording, isn't it, from Fatih Birol?

I'll be honest.

It's never happened to me before.

I have had flights cancelled, but they've been very much on the day cancellations.

I've never had flights cancelled, you know, sort of six weeks before.

eight weeks out.

It hasn't so far caused me any consternation because I've just been rolled onto either a later flight or an earlier flight.

And I think what airlines are doing is sort of basically looking at their schedules and thinking, OK, which flights are less full, where the loading, which is the measure of how busy a flight is, where the loading is a little bit lower.

Could we possibly just remove that from our schedule and then move planes around, possibly moving fleets

putting different airlines or different aircraft on routes, et cetera.

But yeah, it hasn't, I mean, it's all been handled very well as well.

I have to say, you know, these are both with British Airways, these particular flights.

And I have, as I just said, just been rolled onto the next service, an earlier service.

So, so far, there hasn't been a huge impact on me, I would say.

But it is unusual.

It is unusual.

Well, I spoke to an analyst earlier this week, actually.

And so, first of all, Europe is not as badly affected as, say, Asia.

So Asia gets a lot of its jet fuel from the Middle East.
