Maybe we should think about rationing that fuel. There are flights that are really important (like your local rescue helicopter) and flights that are not so important (like that flight bringing tourists to Mallorca so that they can get drunk there or that flight transporting football fans to Madrid so that they can watch a game or all those private jets)
Domestic refineries were capable of covering about 70% of the bloc’s kerosene requirements Source
EU’s production is sufficient to cover the critical flight infrastructure. That’s also the reason why EU countries don’t stockpile jet fuel. This is just fear-mongering from airlines who fear lower profits during the coming vacation season due to rising fuel costs.

Yeah, but 70% is not 100%?
Isn’t that 70% of all requirements, rather than 70% of critical requirements?
Oh for fucks sake thats probably why there are no flights on Wednesday next week, i didn’t even consider the football idiots
