European Commission rules out immediate shortage of aviation fuel.

The European Commission stated on Tuesday (14) that there is currently no shortage of aviation fuel in the European Union, although it acknowledges growing concern about possible supply problems in the coming weeks. According to a spokesperson for the institution, in a statement to journalists, the supply of crude oil to European refineries remains stable. “The supply of crude oil to European refineries remains stable, with no need for additional stock releases at the moment. However, this remains our main concern,” he stated. The statement comes after European airlines asked the European Union to adopt emergency measures to mitigate the impacts of the war with Iran on the sector, especially after the closure of Strait of HormuzA critical route for the global transport of oil and its derivatives.
