The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has suggested that wider international acceptance of US-grade jet fuel could help to head off any supply problems.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has drawn up safety guidance, setting out how US supplies could be introduced into the European market, as well as information on the risks involved.
Meanwhile, the EU has said there are no "regulatory obstacles" stopping European airlines using US-grade fuel so long as it done so safely.
The price of jet fuel most European airlines currently use has jumped by half since the start of the war.
