Charleroi (Belgium), 16/04/2026.- A Wizz Air aircraft prepares for landing at Brussels South Charleroi Airport in Charleroi, Belgium, 16 April 2026. Europe's aviation sector faces mounting risks of jet fuel shortages as the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran has disrupted supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route. The disruption has prompted the European Union to prepare contingency measures to stabilize fuel availability ahead of the busy summer travel season. (Bélgica, Bruselas) EFE/EPA/OLIVIER HOSLET
