New Beijing airport to get aviation turbine fuel from CNPC unit

Petro China North China Petrochemical Company, a unit of China National Petroleum Corporation, will supply 1.7 million metric tons of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to the new international airport in Beijing from 2019, according to a company official.

The CNPC unit located in Cangzhou, Hebei province, will also be the only oil refining and petrochemical enterprise supplier for the new airport, as it looks for ways to upgrade its product mix.

"Once the new airport is completed, which will be in the first half of 2019, we will be offering 1.7 million tons of ATF annually, accounting for over one-third of the total demand of the Beijing Daxing International Airport," said Song Yuntong, deputy manager and spokesperson of Petro China North China Petrochemical Company.
