Airlines canceled 13,000 flights around the world in May as jet fuel prices climbed because of the conflict in the Middle East.
The carriers pulled nearly two million seats from their schedules that month. The cuts could disrupt trips during the UK half-term holidays at the end of May.
Data from aviation analytics firm Cirium points to the largest reductions in Istanbul and Munich.
Airlines typically avoid canceling flights. Such moves risk losing prized takeoff and landing slots at airports. New UK contingency plans, however, would protect them from that consequence.
