Europe faces looming jet fuel shortages just as the summer holiday season approaches, raising fears of widespread travel disruption. Airlines warn that supply constraints, driven by Middle East tensions and refinery bottlenecks, could force flight cancellations or steep ticket price hikes. Tourism operators across Spain, France, and Italy are bracing for reduced capacity, while governments scramble to secure alternative imports. Analysts note that the shortage highlights Europe’s vulnerability to global energy shocks, with aviation fuel now joining oil and gas as a critical pressure point.
