European officials issuing a warning yesterday and our Elizabeth Shulie is at the airport with the latest. 
Good morning, Elizabeth. 
>> Good morning, Michael. Major international airlines are now cancelling flights as they face surging jet fuel costs and the risk of fuel shortages. 
is the head of the International Energy Agency is warning that European airlines could run out of jet fuel within 6 weeks, saying this is the largest energy crisis we have ever faced. 
Jet fuel has roughly doubled since the start of the Iran war, spiking even higher than oil and gas. 
A lot of refineries in the Persian Gulf produce jet fuel and that supply has been cut off. 
So, so far this mostly affects flights in Europe and Asia. 
Airlines like KLM in the Netherlands, Lufansza in Germany are cancelling flights, 
grounding some planes. Officials say that European airports could see a lot more flight cancellations next month, 
while all the major US airlines have already hiked baggage fees and airfares just as we're heading into the busy summer travel season. 
summer travel season. Gas, meantime, still above $4 a gallon on average. 
So for the typical SUV now, it would have cost you before the war $47 to fill up. 
Now it's 65 bucks. It is 40% more expensive. 
I am told that the energy secretary spoke with top American oil executives about boosting output to try to lower prices. 
The US is already exporting record amounts of oil and 
these prices are ultimately determined by the global market. Whit
