Restrictions on jet fuel supply at four key Italian airports, coinciding with an increase in spring travel, have raised concerns about potential disruptions to some short-haul flights. This situation affects the Milan Linate, Venice Marco Polo, Bologna, and Treviso airports and will continue until April 9, 2026.<\/p>\n
The company “Air BP Italy” announced through aviation notices (NOTAMs) that access to jet fuel at these airports will be temporarily limited. According to these notices, priority for refueling will be given to ambulance flights, government flights, and flights lasting more than three hours.<\/p>\n
At the Venice, Treviso, and Bologna airports, a fuel cap of 2,000 liters per aircraft has been set for other flights under three hours in duration. In Venice, pilots are also advised to calculate and procure the fuel needed for the next flight segment from their departure airport.<\/p>\n
In Milan Linate, restrictions have also been announced, but the published NOTAM does not specify a general fuel cap. It only states that companies receiving fuel from Air BP Italy under contract may face limitations.<\/p>\n
The “Save” group, which manages the Venice, Treviso, and Verona airports, stated that this limitation concerns only one supplier, and that other providers remain operational. However, the ANSA news agency quoted the head of Italy’s Civil Aviation Authority as saying that increased traffic pressure during the Easter period has contributed to worsening the situation.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, concerns about the potential spread of the fuel shortage have grown. The airline Ryanair has warned that if the current situation persists until May or June, there is a risk of fuel supply problems at other European airports as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
