Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that kerosene is in short supply at Frankfurt Airport. He attributed the bottlenecks to the low Rhine water level, which restricts fuel deliveries by tanker ship, as well as limited pipeline capacities. Lufthansa has instructed its pilots to refuel additional kerosene at the departure airport on selected flights. The measure affects numerous short-haul and selected long-haul flights. Lufthansa confirmed the restrictions on October 14, 2026, but currently does not expect flight cancellations. Boeminghaus stated that the precautionary transport of fuel from other airports shows the vulnerability of the supply infrastructure. He cited BILD and 20 min as sources. #Lufthansa #Frankfurt #Luftverkehr (translated)
