The government has confirmed that the disruption to fuel supplies at Glasgow and Edinburgh airports over the weekend has been resolved and was the result of driver logistics rather than any shortage of jet fuel.
In a statement, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said: “The logistics issues at Edinburgh & Glasgow airports over the weekend have now been resolved. This was due to driver logistics & is not linked to the conflict in the Middle East or wider supply issues. To be clear, UK airlines are not currently seeing any shortage of jet fuel.”

The clarification followed a weekend in which both airports reported that a supplier was working to resolve an issue affecting several airline customers, with carriers taking on fuel elsewhere to keep flying.
TUI services leaving Glasgow were routed through Prestwick to refuel, while some Edinburgh departures bound for Paris and Dubai stopped at Manchester. An overnight delivery eased the situation, and affected airlines resumed normal departures from both airports the following morning.
Neither Glasgow nor Edinburgh is connected to the Exolum pipeline, which supplies Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester, as well as a number of Royal Air Force stations. Jet fuel for the two Scottish airports is instead delivered by road tanker, a method whose reliance on a steady flow of deliveries can leave it more exposed to a haulage interruption than a pipeline-fed site.
So did we achieve net zero at Glasgow?
I’ve gained $17,240 only within four weeks by comfortably working part-time from home. Immediately when I had lost my last business, I was very troubled and thankfully I’ve located this project now in this way I’m in a position to receive thousand USD directly from home.

Honestly the Media in this country won’t be happy until everything has burnt down.
They just love to invent story’s to feed the British whinging class that looses its s**t at the first tescos that runs low on toilet paper.
I don’t know when the nation changed but god knows how we got through the Blitz.
We need more quality journalism like UKDJ

suspect the first hear of no aviation fuel is airlines cancelling flights.
