Based on the agreement signed directly with the airlines operating in the Czech Republic's largest international airport, PKN ORLEN has become a seller of the aviation fuels to the airlines themselves. Within this distribution chain Unipetrol is the only producer and supplier of the high quality JET A-1 fuel to the storage facility at the airport on behalf of its parent company. The refueling services are performed by Czech Airlines Handling, a.s., a certified airport agent with long experience in aircraft refueling.
 
“For many years, we have been consistently building a strong position as an integrated producer and seller of aviation fuel for wholesalers and airlines operating in the largest airports in Europe. The reliability and stability of our offer consisting of highest quality products, allows us, in cooperation with trusted external partners, to gradually expand our customers portfolio with the next operators, being the largest air carriers in the world,” says Zbigniew Leszczyński, Member of the Management Board for sales in PKN ORLEN.
 
“We are glad that thanks to our longtime experience as jet fuel producer in the Czech Republic we can contribute to building event stronger competitive position of the ORLEN Capital Group on the aviation fuel market in this part of Europe. This proves the strong synergy and close cooperation may be beneficial not only for individual parties but also for the whole organization,” says Robert Małłek, Member of the Unipetrol Group Board of Directors responsible for product sales and transportation.
