# The Fuel Industry Association has warned that South Africa risks another jet fuel shortage by October unless urgent regulatory reforms are made. The association’s CEO, Avhapfani Tshifularo, told Engineering News that the planned National Petroleum Refiners of South Africa refinery shutdown, and outdated customs laws, could severely impact jet fuel supply to OR Tambo International Airport and regional networks. He’s calling for interim measures to ease import and export restrictions, warning fuel emergencies could ground flights and threaten economic stability across South Africa and its neighbours.
