In a notice to airlines, it was stated that due to limited fuel availability from Air BP Italia, refueling services for operators contractually bound to Air BP Italia may be subject to restrictions. The affected airports are Bologna, Milan Linate, Treviso, and Venice. The Italian news agency ANSA reported that Air BP Italia, a subsidiary of the British oil giant BP, has informed airlines that priority will be given to emergency medical and state flights, as well as flights lasting longer than three hours. Other flights may be subject to restrictions at least until April 9. Danilo Recine, vice president of the Italian pilots' union ANPAC, told Sky TG24 that the situation should not lead to flight cancellations in the coming period. However, he warned that the problem could become a reality if a solution is not found for the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Gulf states on Friday and Saturday in an effort to secure uninterrupted access to key energy sources amid the war in Iran. She said she would act to ensure Italy has access to the energy it needs. Fuel shortages could also affect other European airports as a result of the U.S.-Israeli conflict. London Heathrow and other airports in the UK are among the most vulnerable, with some fuel-related flight disruptions already reported. Other major European hubs such as France and Portugal could also be affected.
