What is at stake for aviation players and how can they secure their supply?<\/p>\n\n<h2>A kerosene market under pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Jet fuel (aviation kerosene) is a strategic energy product whose price reacts immediately to geopolitical tensions and supply-demand imbalances. The recent episodes of shortage and price increases, notably linked to disruptions in Russian supply, are a reminder of the fragility of this global logistics chain.<\/p>\n<p>For airlines, airports and distributors, control over aviation fuel supply is a major competitiveness factor.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Why jet fuel prices remain high<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The strong correlation with crude oil prices.<\/li>\n<li>Strains on specialised refining capacity.<\/li>\n<li>The lasting recovery in global air traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Logistics costs and geopolitical risk premiums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even when wholesale prices fall back, experts expect airfares to remain firm, as fuel accounts for only part of operating costs.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Securing your aviation fuel supply<\/h2>\n<h3>Rely on a trusted trader<\/h3>\n<p>Working with an intermediary that has a network of suppliers and proven airport logistics helps make volumes more reliable and optimise costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Anticipate the transition to SAF<\/h3>\n<p>Sustainable aviation fuels are ramping up. Factoring in this dimension today prepares players for tomorrow's regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What supply strategies for 2026?<\/h2>\n<p>Faced with a tight market, the worst strategy remains buying on the spot market, fully exposed to price spikes. The strongest players combine several approaches: contracting firm volumes over time, diversifying supply sources to avoid depending on a single origin, and closely monitoring market indicators reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specialist energy press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This discipline makes it possible to smooth the average fuel cost over the year rather than suffering day-to-day volatility. It does, however, require a good understanding of the fundamentals, from inventory levels to the evolution of refining margins. This is precisely the analysis and negotiation work we carry out on behalf of aviation players, in order to turn an unavoidable cost item into a managed variable.<\/p>\n<div
