Japan is experiencing a significant jet fuel shortage that has expanded from domestic airports to major international gateways, including Narita Airport. The shortage is impacting operations, with 57 flights a week currently being affected at Narita, particularly affecting six Asian carriers. The issue is exacerbated by labor shortages and efforts towards decarbonization. This situation is occurring despite a tourism boom fueled by the yen's weakness, which has increased passenger flight traffic and aviation fuel demand.
