Europe risks a fuel shock as sustainable jet fuel supply falls far behind the 2030 mandate, a new SAS Aviation Insights report shows. Without rapid build out, the shortfall could push up fares, force route cuts and deepen Europe’s energy vulnerability at a moment when global fuel markets are already under pressure.
The report shows that Europe is heading toward a structural shortage of…
