ENOC and Emarat align on aviation fuel continuity planning
MoU sets framework to strengthen Jet A‑1 supply reliability across UAE aviation hubs.
ENOC Group and Emirates Petroleum Company have signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance business continuity planning for aviation fuel supply in the UAE, formalizing coordination between the two energy companies amid rising demands on aviation infrastructure.
The agreement establishes a structured Business Continuity Plan (BCP) framework aimed at safeguarding the reliability of Jet A‑1 fuel supply operations. It focuses on coordination mechanisms, operational processes and emergency preparedness designed to support uninterrupted fuel delivery across key aviation hubs.
Under the MoU, ENOC and Emarat will align procedures for fuel supply management, including pipeline transfers and truck loading operations, to ensure timely response during disruptions. The framework also outlines joint logistics planning and emergency coordination to improve resilience across the aviation fuel value chain.
“The partnership with Emarat strengthens our proactive approach to business continuity planning by leveraging our collective expertise to ensure seamless operations in the UAE aviation sector,” said Hussain Sultan Lootah, Chief Executive Officer of ENOC Group.
Emarat Chief Executive Officer Burhan Al Hashemi described continuity of aviation fuel supply as a national priority, emphasizing the importance of preparedness beyond day‑to‑day operations. “This reliability is critical to passengers, airlines, and the wider economy that depends on UAE’s aviation leadership,” acknowledged Al Hashemi.
The plan will include documented procedures covering response, recovery and restoration of operations for both organizations. Regular simulations, training programs, and testing of equipment and connectivity will also be incorporated to maintain operational readiness.
