L’Agence internationale de l’énergie avertit que les aéroports d’Europe pourraient manquer de carburant d’aviation dans seulement six semaines. La crise a commencé parce que l’Iran a fermé le détroit d’Ormuz, une voie maritime importante au Moyen-Orient. L’Europe achète normalement 75 % de son carburant d’aviation dans cette région. Pour compenser, les pays européens achètent maintenant du carburant aux États-Unis et au Nigeria. Mais cela ne va remplacer que la moitié.

Vocabulaire: avertir = to warn / manquer de = to run out of / carburant d’aviation (m) = jet fuel / seulement = just / parce que = because / fermer = to close / voie maritime (f) = shipping route / Moyen-Orient (m) = Middle East / compenser = to make up for / ne … que = only / moitié (f) = half

Europe faces a jet fuel shortage

The International Energy Agency warns that European airports might run out of jet fuel in just six weeks. The crisis started because Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, an important shipping route in the Middle East. Europe normally buys 75% of its jet fuel in this region. To make up for it, European countries are now buying fuel from the United States and Nigeria. But this will replace only half.
