MOSCOW, April 25 — The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is preparing recommendations that will allow the use of Jet A as an alternative to the standard European jet fuel, Jet A-1, in the event of a shortage, the regulator told RIA Novosti.
It said there is currently no timeline for the publication of such recommendations.
EASA said most EU aircraft are certified to operate on both Jet A-1 and Jet A, and they are already being blended on flights from the US.
Earlier, European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen acknowledged that the EU could experience a shortage of aviation fuel within five to six weeks.
The escalation around Iran has led to the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil and liquefied natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf countries to the global market and has also impacted oil exports and production there. — Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti
