Essar Energy Transition Fuels expands aviation network in UK

New Delhi

Essar Energy Transition’s EET Fuels announced on Wednesday the signing of agreements to supply jet fuel to two additional major UK airports.

This expansion elevates EET Fuels’ total network to nine airports across the UK, marking a significant milestone in its mission to bolster energy security and support the aviation industry’s growth.

Operating from the Stanlow Refinery in Ellesmere Port, EET Fuels, the trading name for Essar Oil (UK), is one of the UK’s largest producers of jet fuel, supplying around 16 per cent of the country’s road transport fuels and playing a pivotal role in the North West’s aviation industry.

Deepak Maheshwari, Chief Executive Officer at EET Fuels, said “By expanding our supply footprint to nine key airports, we are not only enhancing fuel security and reliability for our airline partners but also reinforcing our role as a leader in the UK’s journey towards a low-carbon future.”

This latest achievement builds on previous successes, including supply agreements with Manchester, Birmingham, London Stansted, Newcastle, Liverpool, Cardiff, and Leeds airports, bringing the company closer to its vision of a comprehensive and resilient UK aviation fuel network.

This expansion is in line with EET Fuels’ strategy to integrate across the value chain by placing refined jet molecules produced at its Stanlow refinery directly into the demand centres where these are consumed. It also aligns with EET’s broader ambitions to lead the UK’s energy transition.

Ellese Munnerley, Aviation Account Manager of EET Fuels said “We’re delighted to have secured two new airport customers. This expansion brings our EET Fuels supply network of UK airports to nine, reinforcing our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality fuel solutions to our airline partners.”
