JET-A1 AVIATION FUEL
Aviation Turbine Fuel for International Markets
RUSBEK AGRICO supplies JET-A1 aviation turbine fuel to qualified customers across international markets, working with established suppliers and commercial partners to provide reliable access to aviation fuel according to the required product specification, quantity, loading location and final destination.
JET-A1 is a kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel widely used in commercial aviation and international air transport. It is defined by internationally recognized aviation fuel specifications, including ASTM D1655 and DEF STAN 91-091. The applicable specification and quality requirements are confirmed for each transaction and destination.
Because aviation fuel requires strict control of product quality and handling throughout the supply chain, our approach places particular emphasis on specification compliance, independent inspection, documentation, storage conditions and controlled transportation.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
JET-A1 is supplied according to the applicable aviation fuel specification agreed for each transaction.
Key characteristics of Jet A-1 include:
- Fuel type: Aviation turbine fuel – kerosene type
- Freezing point: maximum −47°C

RUSBEK AGRICO coordinates the commercial supply chain with the relevant facilities and service providers involved in each transaction.
FOB SUPPLY
For FOB transactions, the buyer may nominate its own vessel and arrange the lifting of the cargo at the agreed loading port.
The buyer may receive the relevant authorization and documentation required under the agreed transaction procedure and arrange an independent inspection of the product for quality and quantity.
Following successful inspection and completion of the agreed contractual and payment conditions, the cargo can be loaded onto the buyer's nominated vessel.
The buyer may then transport the cargo to its final destination.
Where agreed, RUSBEK AGRICO can also coordinate transportation and delivery arrangements through the seller or appointed shipping partners.
The exact procedure is defined in the sales contract and confirmed with the relevant supplier, terminal and inspection company.
VESSEL-LOADED DELIVERY
An alternative transaction structure is delivery with the JET-A1 cargo already loaded on board the nominated vessel.
In this structure, the buyer receives the relevant documentation and authorization required under the agreed procedure and may arrange independent quality and quantity inspection.
