Ensuring reliable and sufficient supply of fuel for around 1,100 flights that take off and land at the airport every day, HKIA (Hong Kong International Airport)’s efficient aviation fuel supply system consists of two key elements – the On-airport Aviation Fuel System and the Permanent Aviation Fuel Facility (PAFF).
12 storage tanks with an aggregate capacity of 220,000m3.
A twin-berth receiving facility at Sha Chau Island capable of accommodating barges up to 6,000dwt (the facility functions as an emergency back-up to PAFF after the commencement of operations at PAFF).
A hydrant distribution system on apron.
A refueller calibration area.
Management and operation of the On-airport Aviation Fuel System is franchised to AFSC Operations Limited (Aviation Fuel Tank Farm) and AFSC Refuelling Limited (Aircraft Refuelling/defuelling Services ) by the Airport Authority (AA).

The facilities are designed and built based on the international industrial standards to meet the airport’s long term development requirement.
The Facility's operational systems include cutting-edge computer and other technological systems and automated controls; all contribute to the highest international standards achieved by AFSC in its management of the Facility. International industry inspectors review Hong Kong's Aviation Fuel Service System yearly, analyse its performance standards, and make suggestions for ongoing improvements.
