Europe Faces Potential Aviation Fuel Shortage as Middle East Conflict Disrupts Supply
Europe may face a severe aviation fuel shortage within six weeks due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and damage to over 80 energy assets have disrupted global supply chains, leading to rising energy costs and potential flight cancellations. The situation is described as the most significant energy crisis in history.
