Many European airlines are calling on the EU to take action to ensure the supply of aviation fuel.

Multiple European airlines called on the European Commission on April 14 to take emergency measures to ensure aviation fuel supply in response to the energy supply issues arising from the conflict in Iran. The European Aviation Association, established by the five major airlines in Europe, called for the establishment of a monitoring mechanism for aviation fuel supply at the EU level, to directly obtain information from suppliers, and also recommended joint procurement of aviation fuel by the EU. The association also called for measures such as suspending the implementation of the EU emissions trading system and canceling aviation taxes. According to the EU emissions trading system regulations, airlines must purchase greenhouse gas emission allowances. Additionally, the association called for further clarification of existing regulations to prevent disruptions in airlines' normal operations due to airport or airspace closures resulting from the US-Iran conflict. The association believes that the above measures are both temporary measures in response to the current situation and long-term strategies.
