EASA发布关于欧洲Jet A航空燃料安全使用的SIB
EASA issues SIB on safe usage of Jet A aviation fuel in Europe
打开原文中东和波斯湾地区的局势影响了Jet A-1等级燃料的供应,这种燃料传统上用于欧洲。因此,航空和燃料供应相关利益方正在审查使用来自世界其他地区的Jet A等级燃料的可行性,以应对潜在的供应短缺。
The situation in the Middle East and Persian Gulf has impacted the supply of Jet A-1 grade fuel, which is traditionally used in Europe. Aviation and fuel supply stakeholders are therefore reviewing the feasibility of using Jet A grade fuel, sourced from other regions of the world, to address a potential shortfall.
In this context, EASA has issued a Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) to guide aviation actors on the safe management of Jet A grade fuel in a Jet A-1 environment.
Jet A grade fuel is already being used in North America, also on flights departing to Europe. A potential introduction in markets traditionally using Jet A-1 needs to be adequately managed. Operators need to be aware of the differences in fuel properties (in particular Jet A has a higher maximum freezing point than Jet A-1). Operational procedures for air operators, fuel handling controls for aerodromes and ground handling organisations, as well as communications between organisations need to be reviewed to ensure that all risks arising from these differences are correctly managed.
Today, the European Commission has also published guidance clarifying flexibilities under existing EU rules that can help mitigate the impacts of the crisis on the aviation sector
