Javier Blas, industry influencer, reports that U.S. refiners are significantly increasing jet fuel production to address a global shortage and benefit from record high margins.
According to Blas, seasonal output in 2026 leads all years since 2000, while 2020 and 2021 remain notable outliers due to the Covid pandemic’s impact.
