Gatwick

, the UK's second largest airport, is expanding rapidly and attracting

new airlines and routes as a result of its ongoing multimillion pound investment

programme.

Fadel Al-Faraj, General Manager of Q8Aviation, comments: "Winning these

contracts at

Gatwick

, one of

Europe's

busiest and most strategically important

hubs, is a very significant achievement for Q8Aviation. We have invested

substantially in import and storage infrastructure to provide a safe, secure fuel

supply and I am delighted to see that this strategy is proving successful."

As a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, one of the world's largest oil

producers, Q8Aviation sources its fuel for

Gatwick

from

Kuwait

, providing it with

a supply chain that extends 'from wellhead to wingtip'. Fuel is imported through

Q8Aviation's dedicated import facilities at Avonmouth and stored at the Hallen

Fuel Depot, in which Q8Aviation has also invested, before being transported to

the airport via the GPSS pipeline.

Ricardo Joachim, Procurement Manager at Caribbean Airlines, comments: "We

have previously worked with Q8Aviation and been impressed by their reliable

service. This, and their growing reputation as one of

Europe's

leading fuel

suppliers, made them a clear choice."

Caribbean Airlines will launch a new non-stop service between

Gatwick

and

Port

of Spain, Trinidad

in mid June. Nigeria Airways currently operates three services

a week to

Lagos

, and will shortly increase this to a daily operation.

Q8Aviation was recently voted Best Regional Marketer in

Europe

in the 2011

Armbrust Annual Survey, an independent survey of airline customers on fuel

operators' performance. In the 16 years of the awards, Q8Aviation has won this

prestigious title seven times.
