Air bp has added five fueling locations in New Zealand, with new outlets announced on Monday at Thames Aerodrome (NZTH), Oamaru Airport (NZOU), Motueka Aerodrome (NZMK), Albany Helipad, and Nelson Airport (NZNS). The aviation fuel supplier now supports aircraft operators at some 50 locations across the country.
The company acquired the locations from an existing supplier between late 2022 and early 2023. It said that four of the five bases offer self-service fuel pumps for operators and that all are implementing Air bp’s operational and safety standards. At NZNS, the company provides into-plane fueling for airlines.
“We are pleased to be growing our network in New Zealand, which is an important market for Air bp,” said Scott McCarthy, the company’s general aviation sales manager for Australia and New Zealand. “This latest acquisition enables us to strengthen our presence in New Zealand, particularly in the general aviation sector, to build new relationships with customers, and grow established relationships by having a broader offer to the New Zealand aviator.”
Air bp said it intends to expand the availability of sustainable aviation fuel in New Zealand.
