And even when it comes to the people that it's impacted, the vast majority of the 25,000 or so people who will be impacted will be accommodated on other flights

within a fairly small window.

So the numbers who will be left stranded in a particular location or who won't be able to get to a particular location I would think would be very, very small.

Well, Reiner started the ball rolling, really, with Michael O'Leary saying that they only had enough jet fuel supplies, or he had said they could only guarantee supplies until the middle of May.

Now, things have changed since he said that.

And I think most people are now starting to say that the jet fuel supply issues won't become central to people's summer holidays.

Well, because they buy ahead and because an awful lot of the supplies come from places other than the Middle East.

And an awful lot of the companies that supply jet fuel into Europe will have done an awful lot to ensure that they can maybe seize control of the market in a way that they wouldn't have been able to do when 25 or 30 percent of the fuel was coming from the Middle East.

So there will be people looking to take advantage of the crisis.

100%.

Now, we have seen a fairly different scenario playing out in Asia.

And we have seen, you know, airlines in Australia and New Zealand have probably suffered more.

And one of the reasons why is, of course, they would use the three hubs in the Middle East to get to Europe.

And they were effectively shut off for a very long period of time.

But in terms of short haul flights,

in Europe will probably be OK for the summer.

Now, that's not to say the picture isn't considerably bleaker for the winter months and for summer 2027.

But, you know, right now your summer holidays will probably be OK.

I think what they're going to do in the first instance is they will coalesce flights.

So let's say if an airline has 10 flights a day going into Malaga.
