As the peak summer travel season approaches, Europe's aviation industry is bracing for potential chaos due to a looming fuel shortage. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which a significant portion of the world's oil supply passes, have raised concerns about disruptions to global oil shipments. If Hormuz is blocked or attacked, it could lead to a sharp increase in oil prices, making it difficult for airlines to secure the fuel they need to operate flights. With millions of passengers expected to take to the skies in the coming months, any disruption to air travel could have far-reaching consequences for the industry and travelers alike.
