JET A-1

Jet A-1 is a refined petroleum product derived from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation and it is a kerosene-like fuel composed of hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Jet A-1 is a type of aviation turbine fuel primarily used for jet turbine engines in aviation, it has a high energy content, making it an efficient fuel for jet engines.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Jet A-1 is its relatively low freezing point, which is around -47°C (-53°F). This property is crucial for its use at high altitudes and in cold weather conditions.

It is a clear to straw-colored fuel that is used in a wide range of aircraft, including commercial airliners, cargo planes, business jets, and military aircraft. It is the most commonly used jet fuel worldwide. Jet A-1 is designed to be compatible with a variety of jet engines, ensuring efficient and safe performance. It meets international standards set by organizations like the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

Jet A-1 is widely available at airports around the world, making it convenient for international air travel.
