Jet A1 is the international standard grade of aviation turbine fuel. Its low freezing point of -47°C makes it suitable for long-haul flights at high altitude and for use at airports around the world.
Certified Quality
Meets ASTM D1655 and DEF STAN 91-091 and follows the Joint Inspection Group (JIG) quality checklist.
Low Freezing Point
Freezing point of -47°C max keeps the fuel liquid and pumpable at cruising altitude.
Clean and Dry
Low sulphur, low water and tight particulate control, with a certificate of quality for each batch.
Inspected Cargo
Quality and quantity verified by an independent inspector at loading and discharge.
