Air bp is preparing to open an aircraft fuel supply hub at Paulínia in Brazil's São Paulo state, the company announced today at LABACE 2023. Expected to open later this year, it said the investment in this new facility will yield more flexible logistics and improved fuel supply options for aircraft operators.

Brazil was identified as a key growth market for Air bp in the updated corporate strategy it launched in 2022. Paulinia is nearly 100 miles inland from São Paulo, and the energy group already has 40 airport locations across the country, including Guarulhos (São Paulo), Galeao (Rio de Janeiro), and Viracopos (Campinas).
