Fuel Scarcity Hits Nigerian Aviation by mukina2: 9:34am On Apr 02, 2012 |
Passengers were stranded in airports at the weekend as there were no aircraft to convey them to their various destinations; many of them had to return home or seek alternative means of getting to their destinations. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/04/02/fuel-scarcity-hits-nigerian-aviation/ |

Oga Boyloaf, There is no strutural difference between Jet-A1 (Aviation-Type Kerosene or ATK) and Household kerosene (HHK). Which is why Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) is used for two purposes; household cooking and as aviation fuel. So there is nothing like air crash happening! |

These Airliners have to start partnering with refineries to get direct supply/allocation instead of allowing their marketers slow business down for them. This will help: https://www.nairaland.com/904346/diesel-aviation-fuel-directly-russian |

Part of the problem is that the airlines don't pay on time. With a commodity as fluid as aviation fuel of any kind or petroleum product, nobody wants to get paid in 30-60 days. In developed countries, airline hedge their aviation fuel cost by buying options and future delivery contracts. But Naija want to buy on credit or do cash and carry. How can you manage your cost and cash flow when you cant forecast it. |

stagger: Oga Boyloaf,bros ur over_sabi too much abeg! D̶̲̥̅̊Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ Ūя̲̅ research well,There are different grades of Kerosene, Household, JetA and JetA1. They all have different freezing points. Airliners must take measures to ensure that the temperature of aviation fuel in the tanks, don't fall below the freezing point in d sky, τ̅☺ prevent it frm freezin in the tank, which cud result τ̅☺ air crash!
