European airport group warns EU of possible jet fuel shortages if Strait of Hormuz traffic does not resume
The Facts
- Airports Council International Europe warned that the EU could face a systemic jet fuel shortage within the next three weeks if passage through the Strait of Hormuz does not resume in a significant and stable way.
- The warning was sent in a letter from ACI Europe to European Commission officials responsible for energy and transport.
- ACI Europe said concerns are heightened because Europe is approaching the peak summer travel season.
- ACI Europe said a fuel supply crunch would severely disrupt airport operations and air connectivity and could have broader economic impacts.
- Multiple reports say the Strait of Hormuz is a key route for oil and jet fuel exports from the Gulf and that reduced traffic there is threatening European aviation fuel supplies.
- The warning came after a cease-fire announcement related to the Iran conflict, but reports said shipping through the Strait of Hormuz had not returned to normal levels.
