TKVB Aviation Fuel Ltd is proud to announce the official launch of its full-scale fuelling operations at Manchester Airport, marking a significant operational milestone in the company’s UK expansion strategy. As of January 2025, TKVB now delivers comprehensive Jet A1 fuel supply services at one of the country’s most prominent international aviation gateways.

This go-live follows a detailed period of groundwork, involving extensive site readiness reviews, safety system testing, stakeholder consultations, and compliance certification. Working closely with Manchester Airport Group (MAG), terminal authorities, and accredited ground handling agents, TKVB has established a fully embedded operational platform within the airport’s fuel storage and distribution framework.

The Manchester operation enables TKVB to serve a broad spectrum of airline customers with real-time dispatch coordination, on-site operational control, and 24/7 fuel reconciliation. All activities are conducted in full compliance with Joint Inspection Group (JIG) protocols, DEF STAN 91-91 fuel specifications, and the regulatory oversight of the UK Civil Aviation Authority. In addition, TKVB has implemented its own internal HSSE audits and training certifications to ensure continuous safety and service integrity.

Stephen Rademacher, Managing Director of TKVB Aviation Fuel Ltd, commented:
“Our operational launch at Manchester is a proud moment for the business and a clear demonstration of our commitment to operational excellence. This airport is a critical hub for long-haul and international traffic, and our ability to provide uninterrupted, compliant fuelling support enhances the performance of our airline partners. I would like to thank our team and our partners at Manchester Airport for their role in making this possible.”

This deployment represents the first in a series of planned airport rollouts for TKVB, with additional sites due to go live in 2025. The Manchester launch is an essential component of TKVB’s strategy to build a scalable, high-integrity aviation fuel platform serving the UK’s most strategically important airports.
