Hormuz disruption raises fears of jet fuel shortages in Europe
LONDON (United Kingdom), 17/04/2026.- A British Airways flight takes off from London City Airport, with the City of London financial district in the background, in east London, Britain, 17 April 2026. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted a key supply route from the Gulf, a major source of jet fuel for Europe, and International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol has warned that Europe could run out of jet fuel in “six weeks or so” if the disruption continues.
