"Willie Walsh, head of the International Air Transport Association, stated that Europe could start to see cancellations 'by the end of May' due to fuel shortages. He described the assessment from the International Energy Agency as 'sobering', indicating that fuel for aircraft could start running out in Europe in six weeks' time."
"Rico Luman, a transport specialist at ING Bank, noted that 'smaller, inland airports will be at a greater disadvantage than major hubs, which can be resupplied more quickly.' He emphasized that the situation would not lead to complete paralysis but rather partial cancellations for certain airlines and airports."
Airlines in Europe are facing uncertainty regarding flight cancellations and price increases due to jet fuel shortages linked to the closure of the Hormuz Strait. The International Air Transport Association warns that cancellations could begin by the end of May. The situation varies across Europe, with France being moderately affected. Smaller airports may experience more significant challenges compared to major hubs. Even if the Hormuz Strait reopens, it will take months for global fuel supplies to stabilize.
