Shell Plc said Europe’s oil refineries are working flat-out to make jet fuel as airlines warn of a supply crunch, with the aviation industry fast becoming a primary pinch point because of the Iran war.
The company’s own plant, Europe’s biggest in the port of Rotterdam, is now churning out as much of the fuel as it can, Frans Everts, head of the company’s Dutch business, told journalists on Wednesday at the site. He didn’t elaborate on what those levels were.
“Very clearly every refinery in Europe is on what we call max jet mode,” he said. Europe is heavily reliant on imports of jet fuel, having lost its main source of external supply due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
