Domestic production supplies part of UK demand, with the remainder met through a diverse range of imports from the international markets. This mix of domestic production and imports has historically supported resilience. We are working closely with the aviation industry and international partners to monitor risks and maintain resilient supplies of aviation fuel. There is no current shortage of jet fuel and we expect suppliers to continue to meet their contractual obligations.
