This was reported by Manasbek Samidinov, Chairman of the Board of OJSC ‘Airports of Kyrgyzstan’.
According to him, Asman Oil is a wholly state-owned subsidiary that supplies fuel to all arriving and departing aircraft. Consequently, the revenue from the sale of aviation kerosene goes to the state.
The company operates refuelling facilities at Manas and Osh airports, as well as a transhipment oil depot in the Sokuluk district. The total capacity of the storage tanks at these sites is 22,000 cubic metres.
According to the CEO of Asman Oil, the new refuelling complex is capable of dispensing up to 1,000 litres of fuel per minute.
The price of aviation kerosene varies depending on the market. It currently stands at around $2,000–$2,100 per tonne. At the same time, fares on socially significant domestic air routes remain at the same level thanks to a government subsidy.
Aviation kerosene is supplied to Kyrgyzstan from Russia and other countries in ready-to-use form. Before refuelling, it is tested several times in laboratories — first at the transhipment oil depot, then on the premises of the fuel complex.
