Italy Ramps Up Jet Fuel Output to Mitigate War Risks

Italy increased domestic jet fuel production to cover 70% of demand in early 2026, up from its historical 50% average. Refiners ramped up output after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting 400,000 barrels per day of global exports. Domestic self-sufficiency shields the Italian aviation sector from price spikes that reached $200 per barrel in April.
