Aviation Aircraft Fuel Supply at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN)

Our services at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) are lauded for proficient fuel systems, emphasizing JET A-1 fuel. We incorporate cutting-edge conservation and distribution technologies, promoting efficiency and ecological sustainability.

Business jets count on Jet A-1 fuel for consistent thrust, no matter the weather’s whims. Complying with rigorous standards such as DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655, this kerosene-based fuel ensures consistent quality and reliability. Serving as the primary energy source for aircraft propulsion, Jet A-1 boasts a consumption rate nearly 30% lower than alternative fuels, driving significant cost efficiencies. With its boiling range spanning from 150°C to 250°C and a flashpoint exceeding 38.0ºC (100ºF), Jet A-1 guarantees operational safety and efficiency, even under challenging conditions, with a maximum freezing point of -47.0ºC.

Business jets rely on efficient fuel selection for optimal performance. Choosing the right fuel directly impacts fuel efficiency, leading to reduced operating costs and extended range capabilities. Consistent engine performance, reliability, and safety are guaranteed when the correct fuel is utilized, minimizing maintenance expenses and mitigating engine risks. Adhering to safety standards ensures overall reliability during flight operations. Furthermore, prioritizing cleaner fuels not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also aligns with industry sustainability goals. Strict compliance with approved fuels is essential to avoid penalties and maintain airworthiness standards. Additionally, understanding fuel properties in cold weather prevents potential issues, such as fuel freezing or wax precipitation, ensuring seamless operation even in challenging conditions.
