Emirates National Oil Company expands global presence

Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) has boosted its jet fuel supply capability to Hong Kong, South Korea, Oman, Kenya and Rwanda, establishing a strong global presence in 112 airports spread throughout 16 countries.

ENOC is celebrating 20 years of business. The company works with local suppliers at international airports to supply jet fuel to its customers. The company has experienced steady growth, selling more than 40 million U.S. gallons (USGs) per year outside the UAE.

“Since its inception in 1996, our aviation division has become a significant player in the region’s aviation sector," Saif Al Falasi, group CEO at ENOC, said. "After establishing operations at Dubai International Airport 20 years ago, the company’s jet fuel supply has seen exponential growth. Bolstered by Dubai’s rapidly growing aviation sector ENOC owes its success to the evolving story of this great emirate."

Based in the United Arab Emirates, ENOC provides most of the jet fuel needs at Dubai International Airport (DXB).

“Jet fuel makes up a significant portion of the operating expenses for an airline, so formulating agreements with major carriers is a competitive tender process,” Al Falasi said. “Through the team’s unique business acumen and dedication, along with Dubai’s burgeoning aviation sector, this business has grown significantly, and is ready to facilitate the continuous growth of the Emirate’s aviation sector.”

ENOC’s aviation business unit received an appreciation award for 10 years as an associate member of the Joint Inspection Group (JIG), which represents the global aviation fuel industry, ensuring standards for fuel handling, quality control and aircraft refueling.
