Yes jet fuel is a big one, because aircraft do not take a small amount of fuel per flight, and each flight has many tons of fuel on board. Easily 30 tons per flight, and with 5 flights a day per aircraft, that is 150 tons of fuel a day, now multiply by the thousands of flights a day, and you see a 6 day disruption will make for many cancelled flights, and the remaining ones being full to capacity. Then also all rental companies will be out of vehicles as well, from people renting a car to drive, probably a single occupant per vehicle in most cases, making it worse when normal fuel deliveries start and there are no rental cars at airports, or they all are at far flung points and not at hubs.
