Just Aviation at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is celebrated for state-of-the-art fueling solutions, specializing in JET A-1 fuel. Our operations are marked by advanced conservation and handling systems, enhancing economy and promoting eco-friendly operations.

Jet A-1 fuel is the powerhouse behind business jets, delivering reliable energy for high-altitude flights in all weather scenarios. Adhering to stringent standards such as DEF STAN 91-91 and ASTM D1655, Jet A-1 ensures unmatched quality and reliability. Serving as the primary fuel for aircraft propulsion, Jet A-1 boasts approximately 30% lower fuel consumption compared to alternatives, leading to significant cost savings. This kerosene-derived fuel is compatible with a wide range of jet aircraft, spanning both civilian and military sectors. With a boiling range between 150°C and 250°C, it possesses a flashpoint exceeding 38.0ºC (100ºF), while its maximum freeze point is -47.0ºC.

The meticulous selection of aviation fuel profoundly influences business jet operations. By optimizing fuel efficiency, operators can achieve substantial cost savings and extend their range capabilities. The judicious choice of fuel directly impacts engine performance, reliability, and safety. Rigorous adherence to safety standards ensures overall reliability during flight operations. Furthermore, embracing alternative fuels, such as sustainable biofuels or synthetic blends, aligns with industry sustainability objectives. Regulatory compliance with approved fuel specifications is non-negotiable, preventing penalties and maintaining airworthiness. Additionally, understanding fuel properties, including cetane number, volatility, and energy content, is crucial for mitigating cold weather challenges.
