ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Will jet fuel shortages wreck your holiday?

In this episode, Roundtable looks at how close Europe is to running out of jet fuel and how this may impact the upcoming summer holidays.

The head of the global energy watchdog IEA is warning that Europe has only six weeks supply of jet fuel left before shortages will hit the continent if disruption to traffic in the Strait of Hormuz does not improve.

Flight tickets are set to rise and airlines are already cancelling flights. European airlines are calling for urgent EU emergency measures.

Can Europe avoid widespread summer travel chaos?
