Overview of Jet A-1 Fuel

Jet A-1 is the gold standard for aviation turbine fuel, powering most commercial and military aircraft, including jetliners, turboprops, and helicopters. Meeting stringent standards like ASTM D1655 and Def Stan 91-091, Jet A-1 ensures safety and performance worldwide. With a freeze point of -47°C (compared to Jet A’s -40°C), it’s ideal for long-haul flights in extreme conditions. Composed of kerosene-based hydrocarbons with additives for anti-icing and static dissipation, Jet A-1 fuels over 90% of global flights. Sinewox connects you to this essential resource with unmatched efficiency.
