Nov 29, 2011 (newstodate): Polish Airports State Enterprise has now closed the tender for the construction, funding and operation of a centralized aircraft fuel infrastructure at Warsaw Chopin Airport.
Three companies were short-listed for the final process, and expectations are that a winner will be announced before the end of 2011, already.
The winning party will be obliged to develop, construct, finance and operate the centralized fuel infrastructure for a fixed time period in return for fees from service users.
When the centralized infrastructure is completed at the end of 2013, all aircraft fuel at Chopin Airport must be delivered by the new fueling system, and no fueling trucks will be allowed on the aprons.
From spring 2011, the Lithuanian handling company Baltic Ground Services opened Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport as its first Polish station offering a full handling package including passenger and aircraft ground handling services and aircraft fueling services.
The fueling part of the services by BGS will however stop from the end of 2013 when the new centralized fuel system is commissioned.
Baltic Ground Services is also licensed to provide ground handling services, including fueling, at five other airports in Poland - Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk, Poznan and Katowice.
