If you're flying abroad for vacation this summer, you may need to brace yourself for disruptions.
Airports Council International Europe, a trade group for airfield operators, warned that the global oil shortage resulting from the war in Iran could begin to affect flight operations within weeks.
"(A) systemic jet fuel shortage is set to become a reality for the EU,” a letter from the organization to the EU's Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism said, according to a report from CNBC. The missive further warned that it's likely to impact summer travel in Europe.
