Airlines warn of pressure on jet fuel supply chain

The Airlines Association of Southern Africa is warning of potential jet fuel supply constraints beyond next month. The association says the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has created uncertainty around future jet fuel supply. The price in the Southern African region has increased from R8.50 per litre in February to more than R30 by mid-April. As a result, airlines have introduced a temporary fuel surcharge which is an additional fee applied to new bookings to help offset the sharp increase in jet fuel prices. Nosipho Radebe has the details.
