EU airline industry warns of fuel shortages if Strait of Hormuz stays closed

ACI Europe warned that Europe could face jet fuel shortages in three weeks if the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen. The strait is a major source of aviation fuel, accounting for about 50% of Europe's imports. Olivier Jankovec, ACI Europe's director-general, expressed growing concerns about fuel availability, particularly for smaller airports, and urged the EU to intervene.
