Interceptors don't protect fleets?

Another question. Are interceptors not supposed to protect fleets?

Panzer sunk in the port where interceptors are based, they didn't react.

2 possiblities

1 they have already flown twice (there are a lot of air missions in the combat logs earlier in the current turn)
2 They don't have enough have fuel. Both UK ports in the picture are blockaded. At least, I assume that no fuel means no flying....................

1. No they didn't fly at all.
2. I thought the blue triangle meant they are good to go? I ALSO have interceptors on the French coast, they don't fly against carriers either.

This must be automatic. For me, this is not normal.
