Pertamina supplies 92,901 liters of jet fuel for Emirates A380 at Soetta
EK359 Jakarta-Dubai was fueled with hydrant dispensers pumping 2,500-4,000 liters per minute, above narrow-body aircraft rates.
PT Pertamina Patra Niaga supplied 92,901 liters of jet fuel for Emirates EK359 on the Jakarta-Dubai route when the Airbus A380 landed at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The service was handled through the Soekarno-Hatta Aviation Fuel Terminal. The company said handling a wide-body aircraft such as the A380 requires readiness in facilities, equipment, fuel stock, and personnel. To support the refueling, the terminal used hydrant dispensers with a flow rate of around 2,500-4,000 liters per minute, higher than narrow-body aircraft, which generally use 1,000-1,500 liters per minute with one hose. Pertamina Patra Niaga also said Jet A-1 quality is maintained through quality control and fuel-tracking procedures.
