Air BP, the international aviation fuel
products and service supplier has bolstered its presence in the Southeast of
England with the addition of a new location at Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey (KRG\EGKR).
With immediate effect, Air BP will be the sole
fuel provider of Jet A-1, AL48 and Avgas at the aerodrome. With access across
the southeast of England, Redhill is ideally suited for both business aviation
and rotary activity, the latter of which accounts for some 80% of its traffic
serving as the base for Arena Helicopters and the National Police Air Service.
The airport has recently installed a new fuel
depot in order to meet the supply needs of customers such as the Kent, Surrey
and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust’s AW169 helicopter, and additionally to address
the expansion of the Trust’s activities at Redhill. Air BP has also invested in
a new state-of-the-art Jet A-1 and AL48 fuel bowser for the airport.
