Aviation Compliance

Aviation Compliance & Quality Control

In Full Accordance with IATA, JIG, ICAO & Global Fuel Handling Standards, our aviation fuel operations strictly comply with IATA, JIG, ICAO, and QCAA standards. From bulk storage to final Into-Plane delivery, we implement rigorous quality control and inspection protocols to guarantee fuel safety, cleanliness, and operational integrity.

International Standards We Comply With:

•    IATA Fuel Quality Pool (IFQP) Guidelines
•    Joint Inspection Group (JIG) Standards:
    -  JIG 1: Into-Plane Refuelling Operations
    -  JIG 2: Airport Storage & Hydrant Operations
    -  JIG HSSEMS (Health, Safety, Security & Environmental Management System)
    -  JIG Governance & Assurance Manual
•    ICAO Annexes 6 & 14
•    Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) regulations
•    DEF STAN 91-091 and ASTM D1655 Jet A-1 specifications

Quality Control Testing & JIG Inspection Frequencies

Our inspection and testing regimen follows JIG standards meticulously, covering both fixed infrastructure and mobile refueling assets.

Fixed Facilities (Fuel Farms & Hydrant Systems):

•    Daily: Visual Fuel Sampling, density & temperature checks, water detection
•    Weekly: Low Point Drain Flushing, Hydrant Pit Valve Inspection, Filter Differential Pressure Monitoring
•    Monthly: Hydrant Pit Valve Integrity Test, Millipore Test
•    Quarterly: Dormant Pit Flushing
•    Annually: Filter Inspection & Replacement, Tank Inspection, Hydrant Pit Valve Dynamic Test
•    Every 5 years: Internal tank inspections & Cleaning

Mobile Fueling Equipment (Hydrant Dispensers & Refuellers):

•    Daily: Vehicle Pre-use Inspections, Filter and Water Detection Tests, Brake Interlock Check
•    Weekly: Filter Differential Pressure Monitoring
•    Monthly: Millipore Test, Safety System Tests (Deadman, Fire Extinguisher, Emergency Fuel Stop)
•    Quarterly: Pressure Control Valve Test, Deadman Performance Check
•    Half Yearly: Differential Pressure Gauge Free Movement Check, Microbiological Test, Double Membrane Colorimetric Test
•    Annually: Filter Inspection & Replacement

Fuel Quality Laboratory Testing

Samples are tested according to ASTM, DEF STAN, and IP methods for water content, flash point, density, freezing point, conductivity, and visual clarity.

Personnel Competence & Certification

•    All fueling staff trained under the JIG & IATA requirements.
•    Mandatory regulatory training courses are provided by 3rd Party Certified Training Companies.
•    Regular refresher training and safety drills.

Compliance Auditing & Monitoring

•    Internal Audits ensure ongoing adherence to standards.
•    Annual External JIG Inspections by certified auditors.
•    IATA/IFQP Inspections to ensure compliance with the IATA Standards.
•    Real-Time Digital Logs for inspections, tests, and maintenance.

Airlines Audits & Collaboration

We actively engage with our airline customers through periodic fueling quality audits and joint inspections to maintain transparency and continuous improvement:
•    Scheduled Airline Audits: Airlines conduct regular audits on fueling facilities and processes, verifying compliance with contractual SLAs, fuel quality, and safety practices.
•    Joint Fuel Quality Reviews: Collaborative sessions reviewing fuel test results, incident reports, and operational KPIs.
•    Audit Findings & Corrective Actions: We promptly address all audit findings, implement corrective measures, and provide documented evidence to airlines.
•    Audit Readiness: We promptly address all audit findings, facilitate surprise audits ,implement corrective measures, and provide documented evidence to airlines.
This partnership approach fosters mutual confidence in fuel safety, quality, and operational excellence.

Our Commitment

We deliver aviation fuel that is:
•    On-spec — compliant with all quality standards
•    On-time — aligned with airline schedules
•    On-record — fully traceable and auditable
By integrating international standards, rigorous quality control, and close airline collaboration, we uphold the highest level of fueling safety and reliability.
