The European Commission has said it fears Europe could face jet fuel supply issues “in the near future” with no end in sight to the Iran war roiling global energy markets, AFP reports.
“There is no evidence for fuel shortages in the European Union at present, but supply issues could occur in the near future in particular for jet fuels,” said spokeswoman Anna-Kaisa Itkonen.
“That remains our primary concern,” she told reporters.
The airports lobby ACI Europe has warned the commission of a risk of “systemic” jet fuel shortages if maritime traffic is not restored in the Strait of Hormuz by the end of April.
