This is yet another confirmation of the high quality of the company’s fuel and the benefits of the long-term partnerships offered by Gazpromneft-Aero in all airports where it operates. Our long-term objective is to increase the share of foreign airlines fuelled both in Russia and abroad, which will help strengthen Gazpromneft-Aero’s position on the international market for aviation fuel supplies.”
