The fuelling of an Airbus A319 on April 5th marked the official start of Air BP's operations at Muenster-Osnabrück International airport (FMO/EDGG), Germany.

The contract was secured by Air BP in September 2017, underlining the company's growing presence in the country. In addition to jet fuel, Air BP is supplying avgas 100LL and - for the first time at an Air BP location in Germany - unleaded avgas, UL91.
