European transport ministers are considering importing jet fuel from alternative sources like the US due to potential shortages caused by Middle East disruptions and production cuts. The International Energy Agency has warned of a jet fuel shortage in Europe, which airlines fear could lead to flight cancellations. Despite this, the European Commission downplays the risk, attributing cancellations to airlines' profitability issues. EU refineries produce 70% of jet fuel, with the rest imported, but disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have prompted discussions on emergency measures. Ministers are also addressing potential fuel shortages and encouraging public transport use.
