The thought of running out of fuel is something that scares every pilot. Even though I monitor my time aloft religiously, I find myself checking the fuel gauge every few minutes.
Fuel Logistics Hurdles May Run Past Short-Term Headaches
Key Takeaways:
- The aviation industry faces potential prolonged fuel supply disruptions at airports due to an escalating shortage of truck drivers, particularly those specialized in hauling fuel.
- This driver shortage is projected to worsen significantly because the government's new infrastructure bill will create intense competition for labor in manufacturing, construction, and other sectors, drawing workers away from trucking.
- Pilots are advised to anticipate future fuel stresses, top off tanks when feasible, and always maintain a contingency plan for their flights.
