According to the British newspaper Politico, the energy crisis caused by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East may affect Europeans’ summer travel.
EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen has warned that airlines are already canceling some flights and destinations while raising ticket prices. According to him, travel this summer could be disrupted regardless of how the situation around the Strait of Hormuz develops.
According to him, the European Union may need to draw on energy reserves and additional financial resources to support member states amid rising energy prices.
At the same time, international energy organizations have warned of a possible shortage of diesel and jet fuel in Europe, which could lead to flight cancellations.
