  The rapidly-expanding Russian retailer will supply jet fuel to Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER for its  two daily flights between Moscow and Dubai. In December it will start refueling the Emirates’ Airbus A380, when it commences regular flights to Russia. 

The aviation fuel which is supplied by Gazpromneft-Aero meets both Russian and international standards. The proximity of  Gazprom Neft’s refineries to  Domodedovo airport  allow for fast direct fuel supply which provides both favorable pricing to air carriers and guarantees  that the necessary volumes of fuel  are delivered.

Vladimir Egorov, CEO of Gazpromneft-Aer0 said: "Partnering with Emirates marks a new stage of Gazpromneft-Aero’s development. It is further  evidence of strengthening our company’s position in the world market for aviation fuel. We pride ourselves on offering our partners beneficial long-term agreements for fuel supply and we look forward to working with more major international carriers in the future".
