Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) says BP’s decision to back out of its aviation business in South Africa would not have a hugely negative impact on its ability to supply fuel to aircraft at Cape Town International Airport.

Cape Town International Airport has suppliers who can pick up the slack from BP, says Airports Company South Africa.The Airports Company South Africa says BP’s decision to quit its aviation fuel business in South Africa will not jeopardise supply at Cape Town International Airport.Acsa’s Cape Town regional general manager Mark Maclean said the airport had enough fuel-supply partners.

While speculation points to South Africa's stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and potential exposure to Russian businesses, Maclean said BP had not given reasons for withdrawing from aviation in South Africa, other than to say the decision was strategic. “Air BP used to be the managing participant that operated a fuel farm. They were also operating all the dispensers that pumped fuel into the aircraft. When they withdrew on February 1, we had to find a new partner through the Skytanking consortium. We found a new partner in Skytanking Calulo,” said Maclean.
