Fuel Restrictions Imposed at Italian Airports Amid Supply Shortages

Several airports in Italy have issued warnings about limited jet fuel supplies in the coming days amid ongoing tensions linked to the Iran conflict.

Restrictions were imposed on aircraft refueling at airports including Bologna, Milan Linate, Treviso, and Venice, according to NOTAM notices.

The measures are set to remain in effect from April 2 to April 9.

Notices indicated that Jet A1 fuel availability from Air BP Italia is currently limited.

This marks one of the first signs that fuel shortages are impacting aviation operations in Europe.

The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted oil and gas flows to global markets.

Europe remains highly dependent on jet fuel imports from Gulf countries, increasing vulnerability to supply disruptions.
