A looming jet fuel supply crunch in Southern Africa is raising concern among airlines, with operators warning that uncertainty over availability beyond May could disrupt schedules and push up costs across the region.
The Airlines Association of Southern Africa AASA said the lack of certainty on fuel supply is now a bigger threat than pricing alone.
Airlines require certainty on the security of jet fuel supplies beyond a six-week horizon if they are to maintain their schedules and fulfil their obligations to customers, said AASA chief executive Aaron Munetsi.
