Galp Withdraws Aviation Fuel Batch From Azores Airport Over Quality Concerns
Galp reported a quality issue with aviation fuel JET A-1 supplied to Lajes Civil Aerodrome in the Azores. The fuel batch from the Sines refinery failed internal quality tests, likely due to an operational issue during maritime discharge. The company activated emergency procedures including additional supply shipments from São Miguel and planned replacement of the non-compliant fuel. Progressive normalization of operations is expected by May 23, 2026.
