Briefly

Airlines still have to pay compensation if flights cancelled due to fuel crisis, EU says
"Apostolos Tzitzikostas, EU transport commissioner, said, 'Jet fuel prices or shortages do not meet the criteria that protect EU airlines from passenger claims. They will have to reimburse the people if they cancel flights without extraordinary circumstances.'"
EU transport commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas stated that EU law mandates compensation for passengers when airlines cancel flights due to fuel shortages, not just extraordinary circumstances. Despite this, some airlines have canceled flights due to high fuel prices, with Ryanair hedging its contracts to avoid penalties.
