As I read in international news, there's been a major disruption in an eastern EU-capital of fuel supply. Has anyone more information ?, or seen anything such recently / elsewhere ?
bbn.ee - Flights in Tallinn Airport disrupted by fuel crisis (http://www.bbn.ee/Print.aspx?PublicationId=cdeddb44-69bc-41c0-aa7f-48e5c117a14f)
I remember back when the wall had just come down, working Stockholm airport's line maintenance. Every now and then, some Baltic airlines would fly in using TU-134:aircrafts and not uplifting any JET-A1. The smell & "black cloud" they then left behind after take-off eastwards again, left environmental concerns to even my young eyes in 1993. I'd assume they first flew westwards unnecessarily heavy, and then had combustion-problems or some other kerosene-standard than JET-A1 in their tanks at that decade.
