Airlines Warn of Potential Travel Crisis Due to Fuel Shortages from Strait of Hormuz Closure
Airlines are warning of a potential travel crisis due to fuel shortages caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted oil supplies to Europe and Asia. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that Europe may only have six weeks of jet fuel supplies left, with some countries already below critical thresholds. Airlines are already cutting flights due to rising fuel costs and operational challenges.
