We provide the on-board supply of the fuel aircraft needed for flight operations
The quality and quantity of fuel are vitally important to ensure that engines function perfectly during flight. The operations we carry out are reviewed and updated through a process of continuous improvement based on safety, respect for the environment, efficiency and excellence in service quality.
The main fuel currently used by most aircraft is kerosene in its various specifications, depending on civil or military use and geographical area: USA, Europe. Aviation gasoline is also used on a small scale for small aircraft.
Fuel supplies
There are two methods of supplying fuel to aircraft:
Through tanks
Fuel from the large storage tanks is loaded into tanks of varying sizes (between 5 and 80m3), which are moved near the aircraft's parking area, to connect to it and carry out the operation.
Through dispensers
In this case the airport has a network of underground pipelines that carry the fuel from the larger storage tanks to the parking area where the aircraft is located. The fuel is supplied through a small vehicle carrying filtering equipment and meters.
