"Willie Walsh stated that the assessment from the International Energy Agency regarding fuel running out in Europe in six weeks is 'sobering'. He emphasized the need for well-coordinated plans in case of jet fuel rationing."
"Walsh mentioned that by the end of May, cancellations in Europe could begin due to a lack of jet fuel, a situation already occurring in parts of Asia."
"The EU's energy commissioner indicated that the fuel threat could lead to flight cancellations and suggested that EU countries might share jet fuel to cushion the impact of a prolonged crisis."
"An EU spokeswoman stated that, at this moment, 'there is no indication of a systemic fuel shortage that would lead to widespread flight cancellations'."
The head of IATA warned that jet fuel shortages could begin in Europe within six weeks due to the Middle East conflict. An assessment indicated potential cancellations by the end of May. The situation arose from Iran's blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, impacting fuel supply. Although Iran announced the reopening of the strait, concerns remain. Authorities are urged to prepare coordinated plans for rationing if necessary. The EU is considering sharing jet fuel to mitigate the crisis, though no systemic shortages have been confirmed yet.
