PALASBARI: The Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport in Guwahati, has commissioned an open access fuel farm and Aircraft fuelling facility, marking a significant milestone in enhancing operational efficiency and promoting sustainable aviation practices at the airport.

The open access fuel farm and aircraft refuelling facility have been developed by acquiring the assets of various oil marketing companies operating at the airport. Over the next 24 months, a jet fuel storage facility featuring a state-of-the-art hydrant refuelling system will be commissioned at the airside.

This new development at LGBI Airport will avoid duplication of infrastructure and equipment due to the presence of a common carrier of fuel, offering economies of scale through the low cost of infrastructure. The open access model will increase competition, reduce costs, and lower the entry barrier for new players. The hydrant system envisages an efficient and safe aircraft refuelling process. Overall, the open access fuel farm streamlines fuel handling processes and offers scope to increase the efficiency of operations.
