Air bp adds Avalon to global network
Melbourne is strategically important for Air bp, and its focus is on building enduring relationships with customers and creating value through leveraging its global expertise and leading end-to-end supply capability.

Air bp has expanded its global supply network to include Melbourne’s second busiest airport, Avalon airport. As part of the agreement, Air bp Australia will supply JetA1 as well as provide technical services for operations and equipment.

Avalon is a gateway for domestic travellers, serving around 900,000 passengers in 2023, and supports aviation businesses in the region.

Through this collaboration, Air bp and Avalon airport have a shared goal to attract new domestic, international and freight airlines that can provide Geelong and regional Victoria with greater connectivity to cities around Australia and the world. Adding this location builds on Air bp’s strong presence in Victoria, supplying fuel at key sites including Melbourne Tullamarine and Essendon Fields airports.

Haley Mahoney, Air bp vice president for Asia-Pacific, says: “Air bp has been operating in Australia for almost 75 years, and I’m delighted that Avalon airport is now part of the Air bp family. This region is strategically important for Air bp, and our focus is on building enduring relationships with customers and creating value through leveraging our global expertise and leading end-to-end supply capability.”

Ari Suss, CEO of Avalon airport, adds: “We are thrilled to have bp joining us at Avalon airport as we continue to expand, building on the bp 50-plus year relationship with the Linfox Group. The goodwill and trust that comes from this is invaluable and we look forward to building on it here at Avalon.”
