Aviation Aircraft Fuel Supply at George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU)

Our services at George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) is known for exceptional fuel supply, with a strong focus on JET A-1 fuel. We employ advanced storage and handling procedures to optimize consumption and promote sustainable aviation practices.

Jet A-1 fuel is the gold standard for business jet flight, guaranteeing steady performance across environmental extremes. It conforms to exacting standards like DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655. As a kerosene-based fuel, Jet A-1 powers aircraft propulsion systems, boasting a consumption rate approximately 30% lower than competing fuels, thus driving cost efficiencies. Its boiling point spans from 150°C to 250°C, with a flashpoint surpassing 38.0ºC (100ºF), ensuring operational safety and efficiency, even in severe conditions, with a maximum freezing point of -47.0ºC.

A Holistic Approach of Business jets thrive on precision when selecting fuel. Efficient choices lead to cost reduction and extended range capabilities. Engine performance and safety directly correlate with the right fuel. Adherence to safety standards ensures overall reliability during flight operations. Cleaner fuels align with sustainability objectives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Regulatory compliance with approved fuels is essential to maintain airworthiness standards. Furthermore, understanding fuel properties in cold weather prevents operational challenges, guaranteeing smooth performance even in adverse environments.
