Aviation Aircraft Fuel Supply at Maputo International Airport (MPM)

Just Aviation is esteemed for top-tier fueling services at Maputo International Airport (MPM), with a concentration on JET A-1 fuel. Our modern fuel storage and handling methods optimize fuel efficiency and promote ecological aviation procedures.

Jet A-1 fuel is the aviator’s formula for business jets, providing steady energy amidst diverse meteorological conditions. Complying with stringent criteria such as DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655, this kerosene-based fuel ensures consistent quality and reliability. As the primary fuel for aircraft propulsion, Jet A-1 boasts a consumption rate nearly 30% lower than alternative fuels, driving substantial cost efficiencies. With its boiling range spanning from 150°C to 250°C and a flashpoint exceeding 38.0ºC (100ºF), Jet A-1 assures operational safety and efficiency, even under demanding conditions, with a maximum freezing point of -47.0ºC.

Business jet operators transcend conventional fuel selection by embracing advanced optimization strategies. Beyond energy content and volatility, they consider factors like thermal stability, aromatic content, and hydrogen-to-carbon ratio. By employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, they fine-tune fuel-air mixing, optimizing combustion efficiency and reducing NOx emissions. Additionally, understanding the impact of fuel additives—such as metal deactivators, lubricity improvers, and anti-icing agents—ensures sustained engine health. Compliance with DEF STAN 91-091 and ISO 8217 standards is non-negotiable, safeguarding against fuel-related incidents and maintaining airworthiness. In cold weather, fuel thermal conductivity and freeze point become critical parameters, preventing operational disruptions due to wax precipitation or filter blockages.
