US Jet Fuel Consumption Trail Pre-Pandemic

OIL PRODUCTS

Average jet fuel consumption in the United States so far in 2022 has been consistently below 2019 according to the EIA, although airline passenger counts in the United States have nearly returned to 2019 levels in recent months.

  • So far in 2022, jet fuel consumption has averaged 1.5 million b/d. By comparison, consumption of jet fuel in all of 2019 averaged 1.7 million b/d.
  • The increasing number of passengers and yet unchanging jet fuel demand may reflect airlines’ measures to ensure that flights are full. Constraints on labor supply, as well as high fuel prices, have led air carriers to consolidate flights despite growing passenger demand.
  • Even though relatively less jet fuel has been consumed in the United States this year than in 2019, supplies of jet fuel have remained tight in 2022, both globally and in the United States.
