Philippine President Marcos Jr. Considers Flight Suspension Amid Fuel Shortage

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced on Tuesday, the 24th, that the country may face flight suspensions due to a shortage of aviation fuel caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Ming Pao, the fuel shortage is impacting the aviation sector, prompting the government to consider drastic measures to address the situation. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global oil transportation, and its blockade has led to significant disruptions in fuel supply. The potential suspension of flights is being considered as a response to the ongoing fuel crisis, which is affecting the country's transportation infrastructure.
