SYDNEY JUHI 2 September - Jet fuel supply back to normal at Sydney Airport

02/09/2005

Jet fuel supplies are back to normal following the announcement today that 100 per cent supply was available from 2300hrs on 1 September 2005.

 

Fred Funnell, JUHI * company Chairman said, “We are extremely pleased that the hard work by all JUHI companies enabled us to be back to 100 per cent supply last night.”

 

“On behalf of all the fuel suppliers, we regret that this situation arose but are pleased that through working closely with our airline customers, there has been limited impact on the travelling public.  Our focus now will be on investigating the many issues associated with the problem,” he said.

 

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.

 

“The travelling public should be reassured that these fuel checking processes ensure their safety,” Mr Funnell said.

 

* The JUHI (Joint User Hydrant Installation) stores and distributes jet fuel at Sydney Airport.  The JUHI companies include BP, Caltex, Mobil and Shell.
