Airlines across Asia are cutting flights, carrying extra fuel from home airports and adding refuelling stops due to the Middle East conflict, which has reduced jet fuel supply in some countries. The disruption adds to pressure on an industry already hit by a sharp increase in fuel costs. European carriers are bracing for similar disruption after Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz cut off nearly 21% of global seaborne jet fuel supplies. Airlines in Asia have been particularly affected by this crisis, with airlines in Myanmar suspending domestic flights for part of March due to jet fuel shortages, and some carriers have also cut capacity. Airlines are typically loading extra fuel at home airports or reducing cargo. In Pakistan, pilots are being advised to carry maximum fuel from abroad.
