Italy Imposes Jet Fuel Limits at Four Airports Amid Supply Gap

Italy has introduced fuel restrictions for departing flights at four major airports due to a supply shortfall. The measures, effective immediately, apply to Bologna, Milan Linate, Treviso, and Venice airports. Authorities cited a disruption in the regional fuel supply chain as the cause, leading to insufficient stock levels to meet normal demand. The restrictions limit the amount of fuel that can be uplifted for flights, potentially requiring some aircraft to carry additional fuel from previous stops or alter flight plans. Airport operators and airlines are coordinating to manage the situation and minimize passenger disruption. The Italian government is monitoring supply levels and working with fuel providers to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
