I feel like the headline is a tad misleading. It makes it sound like rationing will start next week. Where as article actually says.

> Fuel suppliers have indicated that May should remain manageable but have flagged “mid to late June as the potential start of disruptions”

So there is about 2 months before things run out.

Before that flights will start being canceled, as prices will be prohibitively high.
Already happening. UK airlines are desperately culling flights, and have been doing so for the past month. The pace of cancellations is also increasing, with the last week seeing cancellation waves that from the outside look quite paniccy.
You need to start rationing before you run empty. Give yourself more runway.
