Brussels admits possible actions if aviation fuel runs short in the EU

The European Commission has reiterated that there is no fuel shortage in the EU, specifically for aviation, but confirmed it is preparing for 'possible actions' and highlighted the significant crude oil refining capacity within the bloc. While the Commission maintains that supply is currently stable, it is coordinating with member states to monitor the impact of Middle East tensions on energy markets and aviation fuel availability. EU transport ministers are set to discuss the situation, as concerns grow over potential flight disruptions if the crisis persists.
