Europe jet fuel supply expected to stabilize as Asian imports arrive

Europe is expected to avoid a widespread physical shortage of jet fuel as nearly 900,000 tonnes of kerosene from Asia are scheduled to arrive in the coming months. This influx of supply is intended to mitigate risks of shortages through the final quarter of the year.

Despite the anticipated increase in supply, prices are expected to remain high. According to Kpler analyst George Shaw, jet fuel prices are closely linked to the diesel market, which has recently seen record prices and tightening supply. Last week, the average European jet fuel price reached $207.56 (€176) per barrel, a figure 27.8% above the previous month’s European average.

Rising crude oil prices and widening refinery margins have contributed to the increased costs. Europe has become more vulnerable to supply disruptions following shifts in maritime routes and production, leading the continent to diversify its imports. While it previously relied heavily on the Middle East, Europe is now increasingly sourcing fuel from South Korea, Nigeria, and the United States.
