Jet A-1
Kerosene-type turbine fuel widely used internationally for commercial, cargo, charter and business jet operations. Jet A-1 is commonly produced to ASTM D1655 and may also comply with DEF STAN 91-091, depending on the supplier and location.

24/7 Worldwide Aviation Fuel Coordination
Flytag coordinates aviation fuel requirements at airports worldwide through established fuel suppliers, into-plane providers and ground handling partners. Our operations team supports scheduled and non-scheduled airlines, charter operators, cargo flights, business aviation, private aircraft, medevac and special-purpose operations.
Support can include quotation requests, supplier availability checks, contract or credit arrangements, fuel release coordination, into-plane confirmation and follow-up with the local supplier or handler before arrival.
Aviation Fuel Grades We Support
TS-1
Kerosene-type turbine fuel used in parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and other markets. Availability and applicable specification should be confirmed with the local supplier for each operation.
Avgas 100LL
Low-lead aviation gasoline for approved piston-engine aircraft. Avgas 100LL is normally dyed blue and is produced to aviation-gasoline specifications such as ASTM D910.

The values below are specification limits and reference data, not a substitute for the actual supplier certificate of quality, density ticket, aircraft flight manual, fuel manual or operator procedure. Always use the current supplier documentation for operational calculations.
| Property | Jet A-1 Reference | Operational Note |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel type | Kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel | Used by turbine-powered aircraft subject to aircraft and engine approval. |
| Density at 15°C | 775 to 840 kg/m³ | Actual density varies by batch and temperature. Use supplier density for dispatch and uplift calculations. |
| Freeze point | -47°C maximum | One of the key specification differences between Jet A-1 and Jet A. |
| Flash point | 38°C minimum | Fuel handling must follow approved airport, supplier and operator safety procedures. |
| Net heat of combustion | 42.8 MJ/kg minimum | Specification reference value, not normally used as a substitute for aircraft performance data. |
| Common specifications | ASTM D1655; DEF STAN 91-091 | Applicable specification depends on the product, supplier, region and latest approved issue. |
Density reminder: Jet fuel is normally purchased or uplifted by volume but flight planning commonly uses mass. Because fuel density changes with temperature and batch, a fixed conversion factor should only be used for planning estimates. For final operational calculations, use the actual density supplied at the airport whenever available.
Jet Fuel Quantity & Weight Conversion Guidance
For planning purposes, fuel mass is calculated from volume and density:
Mass (kg) = Volume (litres) × Density (kg/litre)
Example: at a reference density of 0.800 kg/L, 1,000 litres is approximately 800 kg. This is an example only. The supplier's actual density should be used for operational uplift and load calculations.
Example: at a reference density of 0.800 kg/L, 1,000 litres is approximately 800 kg. This is an example only. The supplier's actual density should be used for operational uplift and load calculations.
| Conversion | Reference Formula |
|---|---|
| Litres to US gallons | Litres ÷ 3.78541 |
| US gallons to litres | US gallons × 3.78541 |
| Kilograms to pounds | Kilograms × 2.20462 |
| Pounds to kilograms | Pounds ÷ 2.20462 |
| Litres to kilograms | Litres × actual fuel density in kg/L |
How the Fuel Release Process Works
1. RequestSend airport, schedule, aircraft and required uplift.
2. QuoteFlytag checks supplier availability and applicable commercial terms.
3. AcceptanceOperator confirms the quotation and billing arrangement.
4. Fuel ReleaseSupplier confirmation and release details are issued where applicable.
5. UpliftLocal supplier / into-plane provider performs fueling and issues the delivery record.
Availability, pricing, minimum uplift, taxes, airport fees, payment conditions and operating restrictions vary by airport and supplier. Fuel arrangements should therefore be confirmed for each individual operation.
Fuel Quality & Operational Considerations
- Confirm the correct fuel grade: the crew/operator remains responsible for verifying that the requested and delivered grade is approved for the aircraft.
- Check the release details: airport, registration, operator, flight date and uplift quantity should match the planned operation.
- Use actual density where available: dispatch and load calculations should not rely on a generic density when the supplier provides a measured value.
- Observe supplier and airport safety procedures: fueling restrictions, bonding/grounding requirements, passenger-on-board rules and fire-safety procedures can vary by airport.
- Retain uplift documentation: delivery tickets and supplier documents should be checked against the requested quantity and retained according to operator procedures.
Worldwide Contract Fuel & Into-Plane Support
Flytag can coordinate aviation fuel as part of a complete international trip-support package. Depending on airport and supplier availability, this may include contract fuel, fuel-card acceptance, credit arrangements, into-plane services, ground-handler coordination and pre-arrival confirmation with the local fuel provider.
For urgent or short-notice operations, send the complete flight schedule and required uplift as early as possible so the operations team can verify supplier availability and any airport-specific restrictions.
Operational & compliance note: Fuel availability, supplier acceptance, airport operating hours, taxes, minimum uplift requirements, pricing, payment terms and restrictions can change by airport and date of operation. Services are also subject to applicable sanctions, export controls, banking restrictions, local regulations and Flytag internal compliance requirements. All arrangements should be reconfirmed for the intended flight.

What is a fuel release?
A fuel release is the supplier or coordinator confirmation used to identify an approved fueling arrangement for a specific aircraft, airport and operation. Format and procedures vary by supplier.
Can Flytag arrange aviation fuel without a local fuel card?
Depending on airport, supplier and credit arrangements, Flytag can coordinate contract fuel or other approved billing options. Available payment and credit terms are confirmed for each location and operation.
Can Flytag coordinate short-notice aviation fuel?
Short-notice fuel coordination may be possible depending on airport operating hours, supplier acceptance, local procedures, credit requirements and fuel availability.
Is Avgas 100LL available at every airport?
