Fred Funnell, JUHI * company Chairman said, “We are very pleased that the swift actions by all JUHI companies is quickly overcoming the problem.” “On behalf of all the fuel suppliers, we regret that this situation arose but are pleased that there has been limited impact on the travelling public. We are continuing to work hard to resume 100 per cent supply over the coming days,” he said. Investigations are continuing to identify what may have caused the initial problem with the fuel. Jet fuel is subject to more than 20 stringent quality control criteria, and is subject to at least 3 quality control checks before it reaches aircraft. This particular quantity of jet fuel had failed only one of these quality controls, that for conductivity. "It is these rigorous checks and processes that ensure the safety and protection of the travelling public. We want to reassure everyone that none of the 'off-specification' fuel reached aircraft," Mr Funnell said. The situation will continue to be closely monitored and reviewed on a twice-daily basis and further updates will be made available. * The JUHI (Joint User Hydrant Installation) stores and distributes jet fuel at Sydney Airport. The JUHI companies include BP, Caltex, Mobil and Shell.
