BRUSSELS, Apr 21: Transport ministers from the European Union’s 27 member states convened on Tuesday in Brussels to address rising energy prices and growing concerns over jet fuel availability amid the ongoing war in Iran.
The emergency discussions come after warnings from the International Energy Agency that Europe may have “around six weeks” of jet fuel supply remaining under current conditions, raising fears of potential disruption to air travel and broader transport networks.
Speaking during the virtual meeting, Cyprus Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades, who is chairing the session, said the situation has not yet reached crisis levels but requires urgent preparedness.
“This evolving geopolitical crisis in the Middle East has highlighted that Europe may have a short-term issue in supply of fuel,” Vafeades said.
He stressed that while there is currently no immediate shortage, the European bloc must be ready for possible disruptions if tensions continue to impact global energy flows.
“If this ever happens, it will affect connectivity, it will affect every citizen in the Union,” he warned, adding that contingency planning is essential “to avoid queues at the gas stations if this ever happens.”
Officials are expected to explore coordinated measures, including fuel allocation strategies and potential emergency reserves, as Europe monitors the evolving situation in the Middle East closely.
