IATA – Jet Fuel Business Continuity Plan (BCP) Drafting Guidance, Feb 2026
This document focuses on the development and implementation of a Jet Fuel Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to manage and mitigate disruptions in jet fuel supply critical to airport and airline operations.
The report highlights the importance of jet fuel for aviation operations and the need for a structured BCP framework to address supply disruptions such as pipeline failures, refinery outages, or contamination events. It emphasizes scalability, cross-sector coordination, data transparency, and predefined escalation triggers. The guidance includes governance, activation thresholds, and coordinated communication to enhance resilience and maintain confidence in air transport during fuel crises. Global case studies from New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom illustrate the necessity of BCPs.
