Wizz Air has encountered jet fuel shortages at three Italian airports due to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. The airline's CEO stated that the issues were resolved within a day without canceling flights.
Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air experienced jet fuel shortages at three Italian airports - Venice, Brindisi, and Catania - due to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. The issues were resolved within a day without canceling flights, according to Wizz Air's CEO, Jozsef Varadi. Europe imports half of its jet fuel from Gulf countries, raising concerns about potential shortages. Varadi stated that the situation in Europe is not alarming, but airlines are monitoring the situation closely. The blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is causing concerns about jet fuel supplies in Europe, particularly with the summer travel season approaching. Leaders, including UK's Starmer, are discussing the issue in Paris.
