What’s happening: European jet-fuel markets have been under pressure due to the Middle East conflict, causing sharp price shifts and tightened supply expectations for some carriers, including EasyJet.

Management has stressed that forward fuel contracts help shield customers from price volatility, though it does not eliminate cost shocks. [sources summarized from recent coverage]
