Europe faces a challenging summer season: airfare prices are set to increase, and flights may be cancelled. According to Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen, the situation is serious due to kerosene supply issues and could worsen in the future.

In the Middle East, particularly in Qatar, liquefied natural gas infrastructure has been damaged and will take years to repair. This will cause energy prices to remain high for a long time. As a result, air travel will become more expensive, and in some cases, flight cancellations may occur.

The situation with oil is somewhat different: production recovery could happen faster, but a few weeks without diesel or aviation fuel could play a decisive role. The European Commission representative, addressing the issue of kerosene supply for the aviation industry, emphasized that even in the best-case scenario, a very difficult summer must be prepared for.

This situation will impact the future of air travel and create challenges for the industry. For more details, visit the energy, airfare, and flights pages.
