Germany's main aviation lobby group ‌said on Friday that Europe should release strategic jet fuel reserves to mitigate the effects of the Iran war, including a looming supply crunch.

BDL, ‌whose members include German airlines ​and airport operators, added that Berlin should require jet fuel producers and ⁠storage operators to report the quantities ​of kerosene available.

BDL says airports, airlines, and ⁠other parts of the industry should be included in the European Commission's crisis response program.

Rules on ‌using certain amounts of sustainable ​jet fuel should be ‌suspended, the lobby group says.

BDL is ‌also proposing temporarily reducing the costs airlines have to shoulder when paying for their ⁠CO2 emissions under the ‌European Union's Emissions ⁠Trading System.

Officials have said that the ⁠EU ⁠is drafting plans to tackle the looming supply crunch and ‌maximize refinery output. The proposals are due to be published on April 22.

European airlines ‌have ​warned of ‌jet fuel shortages within weeks as a result of the Iran war, disrupting ​travel ahead of summer.
