Europe Eyes US Jet Fuel to Avert Looming Aviation Shortages

European airlines may use US-made Jet A or Jet A-1 to ease possible shortages as Gulf supplies fall due to the Middle East conflict; IATA is urging broader acceptance of US-grade Jet A-1, while EASA has issued safety guidance noting Jet A could be introduced in Europe with proper management, though risks include grade mixing and inconsistent availability. US refineries’ capacity to produce Jet A-1 is a limiting factor, but increases in US shipments are helping; industry groups like IAG say there are no current shortages but warn the situation could worsen if the conflict continues.

"Pilots Face Challenges Amid False GPS Signal Surge"

False GPS signals, likely of military origin, are causing disruptions for airline pilots near conflict zones, leading to false ground collision alerts and altered flight trajectories. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned of intensified disruptions since the start of the war in Ukraine and is partnering with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to counter spoofing and jamming, emphasizing the need for coordinated data collection and safety measures to address the rising safety risk posed by attacks on GPS systems.
