Expdonaloaded News; Adulterated Jet-A1: NCAA to begin registration of aviation fuel marketers

THE Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said yes­terday, that it would begin the registration of marketers of aviation fuel, to enable it check the alleged supply of adulterated Jet-A1 to air­lines.
According to a statement from the NCAA Director- General, Capt. Muhtar Us­man, in Lagos, the move was to regularise the supply of Jet-A1 by oil marketers to the airlines.
The statement, according to Expdonaloaded blog, stated that “This action is connected with the recent controversy and cross allegations concerning the Jet-A1 supply and usage by the airline operators. In view of this allegation, NCAA has signed all the necessary modalities and prerequisites in readiness for the exercise that will commence in ear­nest.
“It is expected that the ex­isting aviation fuel suppliers that are still willing to sup­ply, will register and regula­rise their operations with the NCAA. The the new entrants will file fresh applications with the same requirements.”
It charged the relevant departments and NCAA of­ficials to quickly meet with the marketers and all the stakeholders on the develop­ment.
The NCAA said the meet­ing was to sensitise them on the guidelines and require­ments for the registration, adding that during the meet­ing, inputs and observations on the guidelines would be discussed by all the parties.
“To register as an aviation fuel supplier, an application should be written and ad­dressed to the office of the NCAA director-general. The application shall be signed by the lead promoter or chief operating/executive officer of the company and the air­ports/terminals where it in­tends to operate.
“The application must include the names and full addresses of their techni­cal partners with copies of relevant agreements. The evidence of certification or licence duly issued by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) should be attached.
