We also promote the interests of our members in all aspects of commercial and technical fuel, with a focus on ensuring the reliable supply of quality jet fuel at optimal price levels, available at airports worldwide. And we support airlines in aligning the fuel provision agreements with their operational needs while covering regulatory requirements.
