Overview
- European regulators issued guidance that lets airlines use U.S.-made Jet A in European operations to protect supplies as Middle East flows stay constrained.
- EASA said Jet A can be used safely if airlines manage its higher freezing point and guard against mix-ups between Jet A and Europe’s Jet A‑1.
- The airline trade body IATA urged wider acceptance of Jet A to relieve pressure on airports that have struggled to source Jet A‑1 from the Gulf.
- Jet fuel prices in Europe have risen by about 50 percent, and British Airways chief Luis Gallego said airlines will raise fares to offset the higher fuel bill.
- European lawmakers have proposed temporary limits on non‑essential private jet flights to conserve fuel for critical services and government work.
