Jet A-1 Fueling System
Core capability – refueling methods at TAPETCO
Refueling vehicles
- A modern refueler fleet, deployed flexibly and available 24/7 at any aircraft stand.
- The Refueler is a dedicated tanker truck carrying Jet A-1, used to transport the fuel and deliver it directly into the aircraft.
- Deployed to each flight schedule and to the actual fuel uplift required for every turnaround.
- Flexible across a wide range of operating scenarios, and ready to support or back up the hydrant refueling system whenever needed.
Hydrant refueling
- TAPETCO is moving towards a modern, efficient fuel supply model at the airports it serves.
- Jet A-1 runs from the airport depot through a network of underground pipelines to the hydrant valves (HV) on the aircraft stands.
- On stand, the Dispenser connects to the pit valve of the hydrant system to draw fuel and deliver it into the aircraft.
- Shortens turnaround preparation time and keeps the fuel supply continuous — particularly suited to flights with large uplift requirements.
One problem – one different solution
Case in point: uplifting 100 m³ of fuel for a single wide-body flight.
Refueling vehicles
- At least three large tankers have to be mobilised
- Time lost to vehicle turnarounds, shuttling and waiting
- Ties up a larger operating crew on the apron
