flag A crack in the Olympic Pipeline near Everett, Washington, is disrupting jet fuel deliveries to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, forcing airlines to prepare for potential flight disruptions. flag Fuel is now being transported by truck, a slower process that has caused delays. flag While airport officials say current fuel reserves are sufficient to avoid major impacts, airlines may need to ferry extra fuel from departure cities. flag The pipeline, partially owned by BP, is also under scrutiny amid a previous outage in September and a 1999 explosion in Bellingham. flag The situation is compounded by ongoing air traffic control staffing shortages due to a government shutdown, leading to widespread flight delays and cancellations.
