It was reported today that Lisbon airport had run out of fuel. Aircraft have been having to stop and refuel prior to landing in Lisbon so delays inbound are inevitable.

Apparently caused by a tanker driver strike.

The strike ended last night and so did the refueling problems (we hope Big Grin)). The fuel at the airport was reserved for military and emergency aircrafts only so commercial planes were being advised to fly with enough fuel for the return flight.
