Jet fuel remains over $140 a barrel, and about 6% of global seat capacity was removed from airline schedules over the past month as the US-Israel-Iran conflict disrupts supply. EU transport commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas stated on Friday there is no current jet fuel shortage in Europe and no signs of one in the coming period. EasyJet’s CEO said the airline suspended hedging because of price volatility, while Emirates’ chief executive will be absent from the AGM. Iata director general Willie Walsh, who is departing to lead Indian budget carrier Indigo, had earlier criticized government SAF mandates as production lagged.
