Airlines reassure travelers as jet fuel concerns ease

Published: 4 June 2026

Jet fuel shortage fears in Europe have eased sharply in recent weeks, and Karl Moore, Associate Professor at 91 Desautels, says the earlier alarm was not misplaced. Initial warnings pointed to potential supply disruptions tied to geopolitical tensions, creating real uncertainty for airlines and travellers alike.

“There might have been a doubt or two in our minds, but it was not unreasonable,” Moore says. Since then, improving supply conditions and shifting demand have helped stabilize the outlook. While some volatility remains, the worst-case scenario of widespread disruptions has faded, allowing airlines to move forward with confidence into the peak summer travel season.
