With Just Six Weeks Of Jet Fuel Left, Your Ultimate Summer Trip To Europe Could Be At Risk
Europe is facing a potential jet fuel shortage, with just six weeks of supply left, due to the ongoing war and blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. This could lead to flight cancellations, higher prices, and a significant impact on the global economy.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that Europe may run out of jet fuel in six weeks, potentially grounding flights and increasing holiday prices. The crisis is caused by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route, due to the ongoing war. The IEA advises 32 member countries on energy supply and security and has stated that exports from the Gulf region are the largest source of jet fuel to the global market. European countries are trying to replace supplies from the Gulf with imports from other places, such as the US and Nigeria. However, even if these shipments are destined for Europe, they would only replace a little over half of the lost supplies. The situation could lead to higher prices, not just for aviation fuel, but also for gasoline, gas, and electricity, with countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas likely to be affected.
