Jet fuel prices surge as Iran War disrupts Middle East exports
“The last 24 hours have seen stratospheric moves in global jet pricing,” said James Noel-Beswick, head of commodities at Sparta. “Carriers face both longer routes and tightening global supply.”
Jet fuel prices have surged globally as the Iran conflict disrupts crude flows and shipping routes through the Persian Gulf. In Europe, prices have jumped to their highest level since 2022, with the region particularly exposed as roughly half of its jet fuel imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
