Malpensa Warns Airlines to Carry Extra Fuel as Eni Cuts Jet A1 Supply

The advisory follows a temporary production cut at Eni’s Sannazzaro refinery.

Overview

  • An official Notam tells carriers supplied by Eni to uplift additional fuel at prior airports when feasible, with guidance in force through January 1, 2026.
  • Eni confirmed a partial, temporary reduction in jet-fuel output in October and November due to a plant issue at Sannazzaro de’ Burgondi.
  • Industry reports estimate production down about 10% in October and potentially 25% in November.
  • The notice is aimed particularly at short- and medium‑haul operations that account for most daily movements at Malpensa.
  • Mitigations include tankering, tanker deliveries to the Rho hub, SEA opening its depot to Eni, and a request for Api‑Ip’s Trecate refinery to increase supply, with airlines warning of possible strain later in November.
