Airlines UK, a lobby group, has asked the UK government to extend assistance to carriers to help them deal with the rise in fuel prices. Among the measures it proposes is a temporary permit to import US-made JET fuel, which is banned in the UK, and refinery obligations to safeguard jet fuel supply. The group is also asking for relief from multiple financial burdens, including suspending the Air Passenger Duty, the Emissions Trading Scheme, and the need to compensate passengers for fuel availability-linked cancellations. It further called for relief from normal airport slot usage rules and night flying restrictions to provide more flexibility.
