"We are working on securing an alternative jet fuel supply for Europe, such as type-A jet fuel produced in the United States. Type-A is primarily used in the United States due to differences in standards and compatibility issues with aeronautical infrastructure."
"Europe maintains emergency stocks. These stocks can be and will be released only if necessary. At this stage, however, the market is managing the pressure, and there is no evidence of actual shortages."
"We must also be ready for any future shocks, so we will assess whether we need a minimum stock obligation for jet fuel, requiring member states to maintain a minimum emergency reserves."
EU transport commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas indicated that while there are no actual shortages of jet fuel, stocks are under pressure in parts of Europe. The EU is working on securing alternative jet fuel supplies, including type-A jet fuel from the United States. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has raised energy prices and threatened global jet fuel supplies. The European Commission is assessing the use of alternative fuels and preparing measures to address potential future shortages, including minimum stock obligations for member states.
