Aviation Aircraft Fuel Supply at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO)

Just Aviation is recognized at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) for state-of-the-art fueling facilities, focusing on JET A-1 fuel distribution. Our sophisticated optimization and handling solutions contribute to reduced wastage and green initiatives.

Jet A-1 fuel is the essence of high-altitude aviation for business jets, offering reliable performance in various climates. It adheres to strict criteria such as DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655. Jet A-1 serves as the primary energy source for aircraft propulsion, offering around 30% better fuel efficiency compared to alternative options, thus promoting cost-effectiveness. This type of fuel, akin to kerosene, is compatible with the majority of jet aircraft, spanning both civilian and military sectors. Its boiling range falls between 150°C and 250°C, with a flashpoint exceeding 38.0ºC (100ºF), while its maximum freeze point stands at -47.0ºC.

Efficient fuel selection is a cornerstone of business jet operations. Optimal choices directly impact fuel efficiency, resulting in cost savings and extended range capabilities. When the correct fuel is employed, business jets achieve consistent engine performance, reliability, and safety, minimizing maintenance costs and mitigating engine risks. Adherence to safety standards ensures overall reliability during flight operations. Additionally, favoring cleaner fuels not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also aligns with industry sustainability objectives. Strict compliance with approved fuels is crucial to avoid penalties and uphold airworthiness standards. Understanding fuel properties in cold weather conditions prevents potential issues, such as fuel freezing or wax precipitation, ensuring seamless operation even in adverse environments.
