Supplies have been curtailed in recent weeks due to flood damage to railway lines in KwaZulu-Natal
The government says emergency measures have been implemented to ensure a steady supply of jet fuel at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg amid fears a crisis could derail the recovery of the aviation industry.
The transport department said at the weekend supplies of jet fuel will come through a special pipeline consignment. A ship carrying a consignment of fuel arrived at the Durban Port on May 5. SA depends on both local production and imports for the supply of jet fuel, the SA Petroleum Industry Association says. But rail deliveries have been paused as a result of extensive damage to railway lines in KwaZulu-Natal.
The Airports Company SA , which runs SA’s airports, has said overall stock levels at OR Tambo are stable. Acsa has further indicated that an expected volume of about 20-million litres of jet fuel will come through a special pipeline consignment. Airlines are responsible for procuring their own fuel and Acsa provides storage.
