Speculations around whether a crisis is on our hands arose after Airport Company SA (ACSA) issued a statement urging suppliers to hold onto remaining fuel stocks and airlines to 'ease off' refuelling on the tarmac:
currently only has enough jet fuel to last between four and six days after bad weather caused a supply shipment due on Sunday to be delayed at sea.
“ACSA has issued a Notice to Airmen, requesting airlines to reduce fuel uplift from Cape Town International Airport , as a precautionary measure to prevent the risk of ‘stock out’. The Airport has four days of stick left, and is building levels up to six days.” “Various fuel suppliers are also holding stock in there tanks and will deliver additional jet fuel to CTIA. The Airport has, however, been advised by suppliers of a delayed shipment to the facility. Therefore, airlines have been asked to reduce their fuel uplift from the Airport.”
