LONDON, April 1 (Reuters) - Ryanair RYA.I and its rivals will have to start looking at cancelling some flights if there is a risk to the supply of jet fuel in June, July or August, CEO ​Michael O'Leary said on Wednesday.

O'Leary said the airline is not seeing much of a knock-on impact on its airfares from the Middle East conflict and that it still expects ticket prices to rise by 3 to 4% year-on-year from April to June, with traffic set to grow by about 5% over that period.
