Quoted by the same media outlet, the Minister of Infrastructure, Miguel Pinto Luz, stated that the Government has been in conversations with oil companies and “knows what stock levels are available at national ⁠airports”, although he did not reveal the stock levels.

The warning of possible fuel shortages was signalled by European airlines, as reported by The Portugal News. However, Pinto Luz states that “it is a problem at a European scale, ​we are monitoring the situation closely … our ​goal is to ensure that nothing fails in the coming months. ‌We ⁠believe supply will continue to be guaranteed.”

Reuters also states that Portugal is better protected from the Iran conflict than other European countries, as Galp Energia, the main fuel supplier at Portuguese airports, gets its crude oil mainly from Brazil.
