Fraport Says Frankfurt Jet Fuel Supply Is Secure for Summer Despite Iran-Linked Market Strain

Fraport chief executive Stefan Schulte says jet fuel supply for Frankfurt Airport is secure for the summer, even as the aviation sector faces pressure from the Iran conflict and disrupted deliveries from the Gulf. He said the company is maintaining its 2026 guidance and does not expect fuel shortages to affect operations.

Schulte’s remarks come as European carriers and airports monitor a tightening jet fuel market. Government officials in Germany have said current jet fuel stocks are sufficient, with strategic reserves of more than one million tonnes covering roughly six weeks of demand. Fraport said the assurance of fuel supply remains a key condition for its traffic and earnings targets this year.

The company’s reassurance contrasts with wider industry concerns that shortages could emerge later in the summer if Gulf flows remain constrained. At Frankfurt, however, Fraport is signaling no immediate disruption and is urging passengers not to change their travel plans.
