Sweden has issued an early warning about a possible shortage of jet fuel, citing disruptions linked to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Energy Minister Ebba Busch said the alert is based on assessments from the national Energy Agency, highlighting growing concerns over fuel supply stability.

Officials warned that in a worst-case scenario, the country could face rationing of aviation fuel if supply constraints worsen. Caroline Asserup noted that the outlook will largely depend on how global markets respond and adjust to the current disruptions.

While no immediate shortages have been confirmed, authorities are closely monitoring the situation as geopolitical tensions continue to impact energy supply chains. The warning underscores the vulnerability of aviation fuel markets to international conflicts and shifting trade dynamics.
