No problem with kerosene at all in the Netherlands, though. Travel agencies are not preparing for shortages.

Carriers using these Italian airports are being instructed to arrive with fuller tanks or to refuel elsewhere on the network. While the measures stop short of a full shutdown, they significantly reduce flexibility for airlines.
And help to spread the problem over Europe.

Air France-KLM's stock price is already down 32% since Trump and Netanyahu started their war.
You can buy the whole thing for €2.3 billion now.

@Sustainable2050 AF-KLM price/earnings ratio is very attractive, but that could change drastically depending on their Q1 results. I read several years ago that the USA airlines, over their entire history, have lost more money than they have earned, so I think I will stay away from buying airline stocks
