Maiden Refuelling at Entebbe International Airport
Tristar Uganda has carried out maiden refuelling at the Entebbe International Airport, using the Tristar Hydrant Dispenser for Rwand Air Cargo aircraft on July 3. On-time Refuelling was carried out by the Tristar Entebbe Team meticulously following all QC and HSSE norms. Under the open access model, the aircraft was refuelled for one of the users who signed with Tristar for storage and Into-Plane refuelling services. Commented Fuels GM Anil Parri: “It is a special moment for Tristar at Entebbe International Airport and a milestone achievement for the new Fuel Farm and Fuel Hydrant Infrastructure developed by Tristar. Aircraft refuelling services using pressurized fuel hydrant system will help in better turnaround for airlines with safe handling of fuel even for larger volumes uplifts.”
The company is currently undertaking commissioning activity for the Hydrant Refuelling System at the Passenger Apron and will integrate the same with the Cargo Apron which is already operational. “The Integrated Fuel Hydrant Refuelling System to cover the full airport at Entebbe International Airport, will be operational by the end of August. The facility is equipped with state-of the-art infrastructure with SCADA and Leak Detection System, working 24x7 operations,” Parri said.
