Lufthansa is preparing to introduce refueling stopovers if destination airports run short of jet fuel due to the war in the Middle East, the airline group’s CEO said on Wednesday. Lufthansa could make such exceptions the new norm in the coming months if the jet fuel crisis worsens and shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is not restored. “If this should change, possible actions could be refueling stops on selected routes to Asia or Africa and elsewhere.” Goldman Sachs research shared with POLITICO estimates that commercial jet fuel stocks in Europe, excluding government reserves, could fall to below 23 days of supply by the end of May or early June.

Contesto politico is a key reference point in this article. It matters here because it connects with parlamento and mercati and makes it easier to see who decides, on what timeline and with what practical consequences.
