Europe's Airports Face Looming Jet Fuel Crisis Amid Supply Chain Squeeze
European aviation is on high alert for a potential jet fuel supply crisis, threatening widespread disruption. The situation stems from a combination of reduced refinery capacity, logistical bottlenecks, and soaring post-pandemic demand. A critical factor is the upcoming EU ban on Russian oil products, which will cut off a key source for jet fuel components. Airlines are being warned of potential shortages and advised to carry extra fuel, a practice known as tankering. This mounting pressure on fuel supply could lead to flight cancellations and increased operational costs across the continent.
