Listen: Asian jet fuel market takes off after a long hiatus; airlines eye sustainable fuels

The Asian jet fuel market is finally witnessing renewed interest after COVID-19 unleashed an unprecedented crisis in the aviation industry. Heightened vaccination rates in many Asian countries, relaxation of zero-COVID tolerance policies by governments, and the introduction of vaccinated travel lanes by various nations has boosted jet fuel prospects.
