Oil major has been in the UAE for 75 years
Dubai Shell Aviation (SAV) said it has signed a fuel concession agreement with Dubai Airports to operate as a fuel supplier at the new Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International airport.
The agreement was signed by Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Richard Jory, Regional General Manager, Shell Aviation, Middle East, South and Central Asia and Africa, on behalf of Shell Markets Middle East Limited .
Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International is targeted to become the world’s largest airport in terms of volume and size upon completion, occupying 140 square kilometres with a capacity of 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo per year.
Shell has been present in the UAE for 75 years and has supplied fuel to airlines at Dubai International for nearly 40 years.
In May 2010, Shell Aviation was named the best aviation fuel provider at the first annual Emerging Markets Aviation Awards (Emaa) ceremony. This new agreement for Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International will see Shell Aviation grow its presence in the UAE while also expanding its international airport network in line with Shell Downstream’s selective growth strategy.
Strategic entries
It follows other strategic entries this year at London City Airport in the United Kingdom and Roskilde Airport in Denmark.
Shell-MRPL, Shell’s marketing joint venture with Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited in India, has also expanded its aviation fuel supply network this year from two airports (Bangalore and Hyderabad) to six airports in total with the addition of Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Calicut.
Commenting on the agreement for Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International, Jory said: “We are delighted to sign this concession agreement to operate at what is planned to be the world’s largest passenger and cargo hub.”
