The Pakistan Airports Authority on Saturday directed airlines operating from the country to depart with the minimum required fuel due to supply constraints caused by the ongoing Middle East conflict.
In a fresh Notice to Airmen (Notam), the PAA noted disruptions to jet fuel A-1 availability due to the prevailing situation in the Middle East. The advisory comes as the regional situation has affected the supply of jet fuel A-1, prompting precautionary measures for flight operations. In this regard, airlines have been advised to take on as much jet fuel as possible from airports abroad.
The Notam related to jet fuel supply will remain in effect until March 31, according to the PAA. Concerns about supply chain disruption come just days after Pakistan hiked the price of jet fuel used by commercial aircraft, raising it by Rs154 per litre, one of the largest increases in recent years.
