METHODS ARE PROVIDED FOR PRODUCING A JET FUEL COMPOSITION (42) FROM A FEEDSTOCK COMPRISING A NATURAL OIL (12). THE METHODS COMPRISE REACTING THE FEEDSTOCK WITH A LOW-WEIGHT OLEFIN (14) IN THE PRESENCE OF A METATHESIS CATALYST UNDER CONDITIONS SUFFICIENT TO FORM A METATHESIZED PRODUCT (22). THE METHODS FURTHER COMPRISE HYDROGENATING THE METATHESIZED PRODUCT (22) UNDER CONDITIONS SUFFICIENT TO FORM A JET FUEL COMPOSITION (42). (FIGURE 1)
