Indeed, since the world economy began to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Energy consumption continues to increase.

But the war between Russia and Ukraine also helped lift oil prices to their highest levels. Moreover, with the sanctions imposed by a number of countries such as the United States (US) which prohibits oil imports from Russia, then Britain will also stop buying oil from Russia at the end of this year.

Walsh explained that the price of fuel oil is indeed at a record high. Moreover, oil is one of the main factors determining the cost or airline tickets.

In England, the passengers are facing difficulties. In addition to ticket prices, there were also many flight cancellations due to disruptions at many airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester.

Walsh said passengers whose flights were canceled no longer need to pay additional fees when there is a rescheduling.

Apart from these problems, currently airlines are still having problems with their employees. Indeed, when the pandemic hit, many airlines cut their workforce massively.

A spokesman for Heathrow airport said that currently there was an increase in the number of passengers. Therefore, airlines are asked to limit passengers so that there is no buildup at the airport.

“We will work closely with all of our airport partners and adopt policies if needed. We will ensure that we can continue to serve passengers on their journey this summer,” he explained.
