Lufthansa instructed its crews to take on additional jet fuel for flights to Frankfurt in order to avoid or reduce refuelling at Frankfurt Airport, citing low Rhine water levels and maintenance on a pipeline.
The Swiss Federal Office for Economic Supply permitted limited draws from mandatory fuel reserves between 15 October and 1 November 2026, allowing up to 30,000 cubic metres – about 6.5 % of the reserve – while rail freight disruptions on German access routes threaten Zurich Airport’s jet fuel supply.
