Diesel mixed with petrol and kerosene

Hello great nairalanders...

An argument ensued between me and a friend concerning aeroplane fuel, and I want you guys to shed light on it.

We have tried google but the explanation was just too complex in relation to the subject matter.

Today, I read news headline that Arik Air shut down due to fuel scarcity.

Now the question is:"Does the aeroplane use petrol or kerosene"

Answers needed for knowledge sake.

yeah...its somfin like Kerosine..

Its called JET A-1

google it..

Aviation fuel is a unleaded form of kerosene.
