MEDIA STATEMENT: MINISTRY CLARIFIES THE JET A-1 AVIATION FUEL SUPPLY SITUATION AND CORRECTS MISCONCEPTIONS REGARDING THE GOVERNMENT-DIRECTED FUEL SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT

View the official media statement addressing the current Jet A-1 aviation fuel availability challenges:

* Product Quarantine: A Jet A-1 consignment was quarantined at Walvis Bay for quality verification and was isolated before entering the supply chain, no off-spec fuel was supplied to any aircraft.
* Commercial Matter: The supply constraint stems from a commercial inter-company arrangement between Puma Energy Namibia and Vivo Energy Namibia, with replacement product arriving this Saturday.
* Not Linked to Vitol Deal: Jet A-1 is a non-controlled commercial product and is entirely separate from the Government-direct petrol and diesel arrangement with Vitol.
* Supply Continuity: We are actively collaborating with the Namibia Airports Company, suppliers, and airlines to safeguard operations and minimize flight disruptions.
