"textContent": "The global aviation industry is facing an unprecedented challenge as jet fuel prices surge to levels unseen in four years. The spike is triggered by escalating tensions with Iran, which have disrupted logistics in the critical Persian Gulf, a key supply route for Europe and Asia. For the global economy, this is not just higher ticket prices, but a renewed driver of inflation, as logistics costs underpin almost every product.\nSupply Chain Strain in Europe and Asia\n\nThe Persian Gulf region is a critical node for fuel deliveries to Europe and Asia. Instability in the Strait of Hormuz threatens energy security at major hubs. Compounding the issue, refineries in India and other Asian countries have had to adjust operations due to raw material shortages, creating a physical deficit of jet fuel on global exchanges.\nEconomic Shock Across European Markets\n\nPrice agency Argus reported a 12% spike in jet fuel prices in Northwestern Europe in a single trading day, reaching $1,416 per ton — surpassing last summer's peak. Over the week, prices surged 71%, leaving airlines scrambling to plan operational budgets.",
