I can't see rationing - there is a fairly open market in jet fuel and if supply is short the price will go up and and people will fly less. At the moment jet fuel futures prices for the summer are similar to now so people can hedge if they want.

We haven't had fuel rationing in the UK since 1957 for the Suez crisis.

I see you can still get a London - Athens single flight for £39 in August which doesn't scream airline panic.
