What is Jet A1?

Jet A-1 is the kerosene-type turbine fuel used by commercial aviation worldwide, produced to ASTM D1655 and DEF STAN 91-091 (the AFQRJOS "Joint Checklist" combines both). Its defining properties are a minimum flash point of 38 °C and a maximum freezing point of −47 °C, which make it safe to handle and reliable at cruise altitude. Typical buyers include airlines, airport fuel farms, military and government tenders, and regional fuel distributors. We also trade Aviation Kerosene Colonial Grade 54 on the same commercial basis.
