Air BP has collaborated with Vivo
Energy to grow its network in Africa adding six new locations: Sir Seewoosagur
Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU), Abidjan-Felix-Houphouet-Boigny
International Airport (ABJ), Nelson Mandela International (RAI), Sal
International Airport (SID), Agadir - Al Massira Airport (AGA) and Marrakesh -
Menera Airport (RAK).
Effective immediately, Air BP general and commercial aviation customers can
refuel at the new locations in Ivory Coast, Morocco, Cape Verde and Mauritius.
Customers will be able to use their Air BP Sterling Card to pay for fuel at all
six of the airports, in addition to ordering and paying for fuel via the
RocketRoute MarketPlace platform.
Anthony Leon,
general manager, Air BP Southern Africa, commented:
"With Africa set to be
one of the fastest-growing aviation regions over the next 20 years,
there is enormous potential for both business and commercial
aviation. We are delighted to be collaborating with Vivo Energy and
will continue to invest in Africa, as the industry develops, to grow
our operations and better serve our customers."
This collaboration
builds on a technical services agreement that Air BP signed with
Vivo Energy in 2015 to provide training services across Ghana, Ivory
Coast, Senegal, Morocco, Kenya, Uganda and Mauritius.
Air BP’s technical
services team have already completed stringent operational audits at
each of the new locations to ensure they are operating to the same
consistently high standards of safety and service as the rest of Air
BP’s global network. |

More than 70 commercial aviation operators currently serve the new locations
including a mix of both regional and international carriers.
