The European Union is working on a plan to prevent a fuel supply crisis for airplanes, following the increase in geopolitical tensions.

The European Union is developing a response plan to avoid a possible fuel supply crisis for airplanes, in the context of geopolitical tensions and risks to import chains. Airlines warn that a shortage of kerosene could arise in the coming weeks, affecting air traffic before the summer season. Europe relies on imports, with 75% of fuel coming from the Middle East. The European Commission will analyze the refining capacity of petroleum products and will propose measures to maximize it. Fuel prices have risen significantly, and the International Energy Agency warns of possible deficits. The aviation industry is facing pressures, and companies are calling for better coordination of stocks. Currently, member states must maintain oil reserves for 90 days, but there are no specific requirements for aviation fuel.
