Flights in Europe may be cancelled from end of May due to aviation fuel shortage

Flights in Europe could start to be cancelled from the end of May ​due to a lack of jet ‌fuel, Reuters writes, citing the International Air Transport Association’s director general Willie Walsh.

European airlines have warned of jet fuel ​shortages within weeks caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

As noted, Europe is particularly vulnerable as it relies more on imports of jet fuel than on any ​other transport ​fuel.
