Transavia, the low-cost airline of the Air France-KLM group, will cancel some of its flights in May and June as jet fuel prices soar because of the Middle East war.
The cancelled flights represent about two percent of the airline’s schedule, a spokesperson said.
Transavia said affected customers would be offered “a free rescheduling, a voucher, or a full refund of their ticket”.
Europe usually imports about half of its kerosene from Gulf countries, but the strategic Strait of Hormuz – through which nearly 20 percent of the world’s hydrocarbon products normally passes – has been effectively blocked ever since Israel and the United States attacked Iran in late February.
