Program Professional Framework
Aviation Fuel Management Essentials
Program Overview
Fuel is one of the largest costs for any airline and a critical safety item at every airport. This programme gives a practical overview of the aviation fuel supply chain from refinery to wing: Jet A-1 specifications, storage and hydrant systems, into-plane fuelling operations, quality control tests and documentation, contamination risks such as water and microbial growth, and fuelling safety. It also covers the commercial side: fuel procurement contracts, pricing formulas, hedging basics, fuel efficiency programmes and the emerging role of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with reference to JIG standards and EI specifications widely used at Gulf airports.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants prepare a fuel management review for an airline station or airport: a quality control checklist, a safety audit of into-plane operations, an analysis of a supply contract price formula and a short plan for fuel efficiency and SAF readiness.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
