Exolum has been operating the fuel storage terminal at the Humberto Delgado airport in Lisbon since July 5, after being awarded the tender called by ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal VINCI Airports. The company will manage and maintain the fuel storage facility, as well as the infrastructure of the hydrant network. The agreement also includes making improvements to existing infrastructures which must allow the supply of biofuels such as SAF.
The Lisbon airport facility has a storage capacity of 11,500 m3 distributed in three storage tanks, four islands for unloading tanker trucks and pumping equipment to supply fuel via hydrant to aircraft.

In addition, it is the hub of the country’s main airline, TAP Air Portugal, from where numerous connections are made to Brazil, the United States and Africa, among others, and where many other international airlines operate.
This operation, the second outside Spain in Europe after Ireland, consolidates Exolum’s presence and represents a further step in the company’s internationalisation strategy in the aviation fuel supply sector, in which the company has a large experience.
