The EU is expected to implement measures to address the shortage of aviation fuel.

Due to the conflict in Iran, the European aviation industry faces the risk of a shortage of aviation fuel. Local time on the 20th, news from the United States indicated that the European Commission plans to implement a series of measures to optimize the distribution of aviation fuel and seek alternative sources. According to US sources, the EU will announce specific measures to address the shortage of aviation fuel as early as next month on the 22nd. The EU will provide guidelines on how to flexibly apply existing laws to deal with situations such as airport use and flight cancellations during a shortage of aviation fuel. The guidelines will also mention the practice of planes carrying extra fuel to avoid purchasing more expensive fuel at their destination. The draft also shows that the EU will take stock of oil reserves in the region, monitor fuel supply situations, take measures to increase refinery production capacity, and promote biofuel production. If the measures do not have the desired effect, the EU will propose temporary modifications to relevant regulations.
