About this episode

Katy provides an update on the fuel crisis in Italy and its impact on travel due to the situation in the Middle East.

A quick update from Katy about what we are seeing on the ground in Italy with respect to fuel due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East. Summary: Fuel prices have increased in Italy and some short haul and low cost airlines are consolidating flight departures to manage jet fuel supplies. Travel through the Middle East remains severely disrupted. Our sympathies to those of you who have had to delay/cancel trips planned in the coming months. Otherwise, it is shaping up to be a busy month in Italy this May. We continue to monitor the situation regularly and will keep listeners updated as and when material changes occur.
