Portugal confident its airports will avoid jet fuel shortages
Apr 20, 2026 10:45 AM

LISBON, April 20 (Reuters) - Portugal is confident there

will be no jet fuel shortages at the country's airports in the

coming months, despite concerns among European airlines ahead of

the holiday travel season.

Portuguese Infrastructure Minister Miguel Pinto Luz told

reporters on Monday that the government was in contact with oil

companies and "knows what stock levels are available at national

airports", without revealing them.

European airlines have warned the Iran war could trigger jet

fuel shortages, as Europe relies on the Middle East for about

75% of its jet fuel imports.

"It is a problem at a European scale, we are monitoring the

situation closely ... our goal is to ensure that nothing fails

in the coming months. We believe supply will continue to be

guaranteed," Pinto Luz added.

Portugal is more shielded from the conflict than some other

European countries, as its dominant jet fuel supplier to

airports, Galp Energia, sources its crude mainly from

Brazil and processes it into jet fuel at its Sines refinery.

"At this stage, no disruptions are anticipated in the coming

months, a period during which consumption is covered by Galp's

own production, available stocks and imports," it said.

Galp is also taking measures to secure jet fuel supply.
