European Regulator Addresses Bottlenecks In Global Fuel Supply Chain
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued guidance on the use of Jet A fuel as an alternative to Jet A-1, due to concerns over fuel shortages in the global supply chain. The move is seen as a response to bottlenecks in the supply of Jet A-1, which is the predominant jet fuel type used in Europe. According to Aviation Week, the two fuel types are technically interchangeable in most commercial aircraft engines and can be intermixed, providing a potential solution to the shortage.
