Scheduled to open later in 2023, the new hub will increase logistics flexibility and provide more options for customers serving the growing aviation market in São Paulo state and Central-West areas.
"We are very proud of this new supply point in the interior of São Paulo. In addition to our traditional excellence in service and safety in operations, we will offer greater logistical efficiency and better delivery for our customers," explains Ricardo Paganini, president of Air bp South America.
Air bp's investments in the country also include a fuel tank farm project at Congonhas Airport to serve commercial and general aviation flights and is scheduled to start operating in 2024. The two projects total an investment of approximately BRL 50m.
Air bp is one of the largest players in Brazil and is present in 40 locations, including Guarulhos (São Paulo), Viracopos (Campinas) and Galeão (Rio de Janeiro).
Air bp’s aim is to be the energy partner of choice for sustainable aviation and believes that SAF is currently the most viable option to help meet the industry’s net zero ambition in the short and medium term.
Earlier this year, Air bp announced the first sale of International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU SAF from bp’s Castellon refinery in Spain. The flight was carried out by LATAM Cargo Chile from Zaragoza, Spain to North America.
