That will definitely push up the cost of flying.
I think a lot of people are expecting prices across the board to increase, both as airlines go bust and we see less competition and less competitive pressure and prices rise in general.
People are genuinely asking whether this is going to be something that is going to be over.
But what Ryanair have shown they're very good at doing in the past is being very opportunistic.
They will have sales where they sell tickets for £15 in order to fill the planes in low season.
They will always offer deals to try and get people to come on and look and book and then potentially squeeze money out of them in the future as well.
If anyone can keep the low-cost model alive in a world of higher jet fuel prices and general uncertainty, it's going to be them.
There has been an issue over the last few weeks.
People have read reports that there are potentially going to be jet fuel shortages in the summer, and they have pushed back booking their summer holiday because they don't know what's going to happen yet.
All the airlines have seen this.
What some of the airlines have done in response is to drop some prices to try and convince people to book.
One person I spoke to said that airlines are now locked in a confidence game with consumers to try and get them to book their summer holidays.
But what they are also all saying is that when it gets closer to the time, people will book and they will pay for their holidays.
And even in the space of the last month, you've seen some of the concerns around jet fuel availability.
So not price, but shortages, particularly in Europe, recede.
You know, a few weeks ago, Michael O'Leary from Ryanair was saying we're a little bit worried about this.
I spoke to him on Monday this week.
He said, we're going to be absolutely fine.
We can fly everything over the summer.
Also this week, we had EasyJet saying they can fly everything over the summer.
