The Mactan-Cebu airport fuel hydrant system was commissioned on February 3 by GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. (GMCAC) and Mactan-Cebu International Airport at Terminal 2.
The commissioning ensures safe and efficient operations at the airport, allowing for an increased fuel delivery rate to the aircraft, a systemized fuel inventory management, and fewer ground support equipment movements, airport operator GMCAC said in a statement.
The fuel hydrant system was installed in partnership with Petron Corp., which provides the fuel storage facility and fuel supply.
“Being the second busiest gateway in the country, we see a significant increase in air traffic at MCIA, making it imperative to be able to turn around more aircraft while operating the airport safely and efficiently. With the FHS, fuel delivery rates to the aircraft are increased considerably with reduced ground support movement and increase availability of aircraft stands,” GMCAC director Rafael Aboitiz said.
“The FHS is a milestone for the MCIAA as it enables us to turn around more aircraft faster. The resulting efficiencies and increased capacity are very timely as our soon-to-be finished second runway will certainly benefit from it as well. This would help position Cebu as the premier tourist destination and transit hub in the country,” MCIAA general manager and chief executive Julius Neri Jr. said.
The fuel hydrant system ensures simplification with easier fuel management, inventory control, built-in leak detection, and compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
