The head of the French energy group Total has warned that European airports could face jet fuel shortages in the coming weeks or months.
This potential supply disruption depends heavily on the stability of the Strait of Hormuz. The executive stated that the shortage may occur if the situation at the strategic waterway does not improve.
Geopolitical risks to aviation
The warning highlights the vulnerability of European aviation to Middle Eastern maritime security. Any prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz threatens the flow of essential energy supplies to the continent.
Energy markets remain sensitive to developments in the region. Analysts are monitoring the Strait closely as a primary indicator for fuel price volatility and availability.
