Airlines warn flight cuts could start in six weeks over fuel shortages
Airlines are warning that flight cancellations could begin in six weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The jet fuel shortage would impact Dutch-based carriers as well, says industry group BARIN. Intercontinental routes are likely to be cut first to save fuel, according to chairman Marnix Fruitema.Industry group BARIN says the Netherlands does not yet face a jet fuel shortage, but if Iran continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz nearly shut, airlines may have to implement fuel conservation measures soon.
