IEA Warns Europe Faces Jet Fuel Shortages, Flight Cancellations Within Weeks
The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that Europe faces jet fuel shortages and potential flight cancellations within weeks if oil supplies remain blocked through the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran war. Executive Director Fatih Birol said the continent has "maybe six weeks or so of jet fuel left" and called it "the largest energy crisis we have ever faced." Europe could see flight cancellations starting in May, with smaller inland airports most vulnerable. Developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America will suffer most, he said.
