Aviation fuel to Accra International Airport cut
following TOR inferno
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, Jan 24. Ghanadot - Aviation turbine kerosene (ATK)
supply to Accra International Airport (KIA) has been
suspended following the fire outbreak at the loading gantry
of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR).
In a press statement issued by the Ghana Airports Authority
and signed by its managing director Doreen Owusu Fianko, the
company requested airlines to refuel from neighbouring
countries.
“The situation has further been affected by on-going
refurbishment of the tanks by JUHI in line with safety
standards in the aviation industry and is scheduled to be
completed in February 2010.
“JUHI has meanwhile initiated steps to ensure the provision
of ATK from neighboring countries for use at the airport in
the short - term.
“In view of the storage capacity issues, the Ghana Airports
Company Ltd (GACL) had already initiated the processes to
collaborate with the private sector to provide additional
storage facilities to augment capacity at the airport.
The statement said “the Ghana Airports Company Ltd (GACL)
deeply regrets the inconvenience caused by the shortage and
wishes to assure the airlines and the traveling public of
its commitment to help resolve these challenges in a timely
manner to ensure smooth, safe and secure operations at the
airport.”
The TOR fire gutted the loading bay of the refinery,
shutting down several of its sections.
At least two persons died from burns they suffered as a
result of the fire.
