Skytanking

Skytanking is an airport fuel services company. It provides into-plane fuelling, aviation fuel storage and hydrant management, and engineering services. Its customers are oil companies, airports and airlines. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of PrimeFlight Aviation Services Inc. and is managed from Germany.

Skytanking says it operates at 107 international airports in 15 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Its into-plane service runs at 96 airports, and it manages tank farm and hydrant systems at 70 airports. It owns about 550 fuelling vehicles. Its into-plane work covers long-haul, short-haul and general aviation, and it uses hydrant carts, dispensers and refueller trucks.

The company handles about 25 million cubic metres of aviation fuel a year. This refuels about two million aircraft, which is four jet fuellings per minute. It also reports about 11 billion litres a year through its tank farms. Skytanking has more than 2,900 employees.

Technical service agreements cover operations manuals and task breakdowns, airport facility inspections and train-the-trainer programmes. Skytanking also offers consultancy, investment projects and engineering. Its engineering team in Brussels works on jet fuel storage and hydrant engineering. The company also maintains ground support and fuelling equipment.

Recent news includes a 50/50 joint venture with Moeve for fuelling services at Spanish airports, which Skytanking announced in October 2026. In June 2026 it began operations at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and carried out its first fuelling at Paris-Orly Airport. The company says it is an IATA strategic partner.
