ENOC Group, a leading integrated global energy company, and Emirates Petroleum Company (Emarat) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for aviation fuel supply.
The collaboration aims to enhance coordination and ensure the reliability of Jet A-1 aviation fuel operations across the UAE, supporting operational continuity, resilience, and adherence to industry standards.
The agreement also sets a clear framework for cooperation, including processes for pipeline transfer and truck loading operations to maintain seamless operations across key aviation hubs.
The BCP will provide documented procedures for the response, recovery, resumption, and restoration of operations. It will also include regular drills, training of personnel, and equipment and connectivity testing to maintain peak operational readiness.

Through this partnership, ENOC and Emarat will implement advanced logistics solutions and coordinated emergency response strategies to guarantee uninterrupted fuel delivery.”
Burhan Al Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer of Emarat, stated that, “Safeguarding the continuity of fuel supply to aviation sector is a national responsibility, one that Emarat takes with the utmost seriousness. This MoU with ENOC Group institutionalizes our two organizations’ readiness to stand together, not only in normal operations but also in the scenarios that matter most. By aligning our preparedness, our people, and our procedures in advance, we are strengthening operational resilience and ensuring uninterrupted fuel availability when it counts.”
