26 April 2026 | By James Doyle, Boston Warwick
This is an update to our 23 April 2026 analysis. In the past three days northern Italian airports (Treviso, Milan Linate and Venice) have risen sharply in risk due to continued rationing, while UK airports have improved thanks to accelerated US Gulf Coast imports.
