Global aviation faces kerosene shortage risk

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is warning of potential global shortages of aviation fuel (kerosene) and rising energy prices, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains open. Aviation associations in Germany are predicting 'significant damage' to the economy and impacts on the summer travel season due to the expected kerosene shortage. The warnings suggest a looming supply crunch that could lead to flight cancellations and restrictions in air traffic.
