Jet fuel specifications are designed to ensure safe aircraft operation. IATA fuel servicing guidance materials are standards developed by the IATA Technical Fuel Group in collaboration with fuel industry experts to enhance safety in critical fueling tasks. From the refinery process through the delivery of fuel into-plane, IATA establishes and publishes industry-recognized guidance materials, best practices and procedures. Fuel is a critical safety and cost factor for operations within an airline and it is critical that a clear understanding of important aspects of fuels handling is provided for standardization, and understanding of standards, along with the challenges addressed through the fuels eco-system.
Rationalization & enhanced fuel safety
The IATA fuel guidance materials are an essential set of recommendations designed to ensure safe and efficient aircraft fuel handling assembled through the collaboration of the fuel industry experts with aviation industry backgrounds, specifically in the areas of fuel specifications, sustainable aviation fuel, fuel quality standards, refueling procedures, supply-chain quality, aircraft fuel system design, fuel system maintenance.
