What is Jet A-1 fuel?

Jet A-1 is the internationally standardized commercial aviation turbine fuel used by most airlines worldwide outside North America. It is specified under DEF STAN 91-091 and ASTM D1655, with a minimum flash point of 38°C and a maximum freeze point of -47°C. Suat Fuels supports Jet A-1 procurement and into-plane coordination across a broad airport network, subject to local availability and delivery requirements.

How do airlines buy Jet A-1 fuel?

Airlines typically buy Jet A-1 through direct supply agreements with oil majors, independent fuel brokers like Suat Fuels, or via fuel card programs at individual airports. Independent brokers often offer lower differentials by negotiating with multiple into-plane agents at each airport, typically saving 2-8 cents per US gallon compared to direct supply.

What is SAF and how does it differ from conventional Jet A-1?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a drop-in replacement for conventional Jet A-1 produced from sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oil (UCO), tallow, or agricultural residues. SAF certified under ASTM D7566 can be blended with conventional Jet A-1 up to 50% and can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil Jet A-1.
