Beroe Warns of Tightening European Jet Fuel Supply as Hormuz Conflict Disrupts Global Flows

RALEIGH, NC – June 11, 2026 – Beroe, the global leader in procurement decision intelligence, has released a market assessment on the global jet fuel supply environment, warning that ongoing disruptions to oil and refined fuel flows through the Strait of Hormuz are placing sustained pressure on European aviation fuel markets ahead of peak summer travel demand.

According to Beroe’s latest intelligence, Europe currently holds approximately four to six weeks of commercial jet fuel coverage, with inventory levels remaining below normal seasonal averages. While supply conditions at major aviation hubs remain stable for now, the market continues to rely heavily on uninterrupted U.S. exports and increased refinery output to offset reduced Middle Eastern cargo flows.

Which European regions face the greatest jet fuel supply risk?

• The United Kingdom remains among the most exposed regions due to its continued reliance on imported jet fuel from the Middle East.

• Southern Europe and Mediterranean aviation corridors are also experiencing tightening inventories.

• Northwest Europe continues to face the strongest pricing pressure as the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) trading hub remains the benchmark center for European jet fuel pricing.

Beroe’s analysis shows that current market concerns are centered more on elevated prices and tightening inventories than on immediate large-scale physical shortages.

“Airlines and airports have largely downplayed the risk of severe supply interruptions publicly as the industry moves into the summer travel season, though pricing volatility and inventory depletion remain key operational concerns,” said Arun Lawrance, Team Lead Oil and Gas Research at Beroe.
