European airports warn of jet fuel shortages.
European airports are warning about a potential crisis if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. This closure could cause fuel shortages for airplanes. Airports are asking for the strait to reopen quickly.
The Strait of Hormuz is important for global trade, especially oil shipments. Airlines worry about a lack of jet fuel, which is called kerosene. This shortage could lead to flight cancellations.
