Europe's Jet Fuel Supply Stable for Summer Travel

Monday, 18 May 2026/Source: Flashnews/1 min read

European airlines and fuel refineries have expressed confidence that the continent will avoid significant jet fuel shortages this summer, despite ongoing global energy market pressures. Industry representatives say supply chains are stable and refinery output is sufficient to meet the expected surge in summer travel demand. For tourists planning trips to Crete, this is reassuring news: flights to Heraklion and Chania airports are unlikely to face fuel-related cancellations or last-minute schedule disruptions during the peak July and August travel season. Travelers should still book flights early, as demand for Crete routes is high and prices rise quickly in summer. No changes to current flight schedules are anticipated. Tourists already holding confirmed bookings can proceed with their plans without concern over fuel availability affecting their travel.
