Narita International Airport has announced the receipt of approximately 5,000 kiloliters of jet fuel imported from a refinery in South Korea.
The import was conducted by Itochu Corporation, and Narita International Airport is the first to directly receive imported jet fuel at its airport facilities.
The fuel arrived on July 8, and after conducting quality assurance tests both before unloading at the jetty at Chiba Port and after unloading at the tank, it was confirmed that the fuel meets the standards for handling in a shared storage facility. Subsequently, transportation of the fuel to the airport’s tanks via pipeline was initiated on July 10 and beyond. The amount of fuel received is sufficient to cover about 300 flights to Asia and can adequately meet the needs of the 57 weekly flights of six companies that were unable to procure fuel by the end of June and had to cancel their operations.
The aviation fuel filled up at Narita International Airport is transported from the Chiba Port Head Oil Terminal to Narita International Airport via pipelines through various facilities such as the Yotsukaido Oil Terminal.
