U.S. jet fuel tightens as Iran war lifts prices and raises shortage risk U.S. jet fuel prices have climbed since the start of the Iran war, driven by geopolitical tensions that are constraining supply chains and refinery outputs. Market tightness is increasing the risk of regional Jet A-1 shortages and could force carriers and airports to adjust operations.

LEVEL axes transatlantic route citing engine shortage Spain's low-cost long-haul carrier LEVEL has cut a transatlantic service, blaming an engine shortage that constrained aircraft availability. The suspension is a near-term operational hit from powerplant supply limits and underscores broader carrier capacity adjustments tied to ongoing engine OEM bottlenecks.
