Italian airports Milan Linate, Venice Marco Polo, Bologna and Treviso will impose until 9 April restrictions on the supply of fuel for commercial flights due to the "limited availability" of the operator Air BP Italia.

The situation particularly affects the supply of Jet A1 fuel used in civilian aircraft operating at commercial airports and air bases.



Airlines have been warned that Air BP is limited supplies to operators linked to Italy by contract.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of essential services, priority has been given to  and priority has been given to ambulance flights, state flights and long-distance journeys of more than three hours.

For the other commercial operators, the airports of Venice, Treviso and Bologna have set a limit of 2,000 litres of fuel for each aircraft.

In the case of Marco Polo Airport in Venice, they send technical notices to pilots to get enough fuel from the airport in front of them for the next flight.

For the time being, Air BP Italy, a subsidiary of BP in Britain, has not specified the exact reasons for setting these limits, which appear to be one-off logistical problems.
