Middle East jet fuel imports into Europe stop as airlines face looming summer shortage fears

Prices above $200 a barrel could spike fast

Europe’s jet fuel shipments from the Middle East have stopped, raising fears of a pre-summer supply crunch. With jet fuel already priced above $200 per barrel, the disruption could strain airline planning even as carriers point to alternative sources. Officials, however, warn demand may outpace available supply, risking higher costs and travel impacts.
