(260425) -- LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A plane flies over the Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California, the United States, on April 24, 2026. California, the largest state economy in the United States, has seen its jet fuel stock nosedive by more than 25 percent from last year's peak to a level not seen since 2023 as war in the Middle East disrupts global oil supplies.

Based on data from the California Energy Commission, the state's jet fuel stock was 2.6 million barrels last week, down from a peak of more than 3.5 million barrels last year, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday, citing government data. (Photo by Qiu Chen/Xinhua)
