Jet A Fuel Delivery in Florida — Aviation Kerosene
Jet A aviation fuel delivery for Florida FBOs, charter operators, and private aviation. ASTM D1655-compliant kerosene-type fuel with full chain-of-custody documentation. Coming Spring 2026.
Coming Spring 2026What Is Jet A?
Jet A is the standard aviation turbine fuel used by commercial airlines, charter operators, and private aviation in the United States. It is a kerosene-type fuel refined to meet stringent ASTM D1655 specifications for purity, thermal stability, and performance at altitude.
Jet A is produced through fractional distillation of crude oil, yielding a kerosene-cut fuel with a carbon chain length of C8 to C16. The refining process produces a fuel with excellent thermal stability, consistent combustion characteristics, and reliable performance across a wide range of altitudes and temperatures.
Quality control for aviation fuel is significantly more rigorous than for ground transportation fuels. Every batch of Jet A is tested for appearance, density, distillation range, flash point, freezing point, sulfur content, and thermal stability (JFTOT test). Chain-of-custody documentation tracks the fuel from refinery to aircraft wing.
Florida's aviation market is substantial. The state has over 500 public and private airports, making it one of the highest-volume aviation fuel markets in the country. FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) at these airports need reliable, quality-assured Jet A supply to serve commercial, charter, and private aviation customers.
BettyJet is launching Jet A delivery in Spring 2026 to serve Florida's growing aviation fuel market. Our aviation fuel program will include full chain-of-custody documentation, Certificates of Analysis for every delivery, and compliance with all FAA and industry requirements.
Common Uses for Jet A
Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs)
FBOs at Florida airports rely on Jet A supply for refueling private, charter, and transient aircraft. Consistent supply and quality documentation are critical.
Charter & Air Taxi Operators
Part 135 charter operators need reliable Jet A supply with proper quality certificates for each delivery.
Private Aviation
Private jet owners and flight departments operating out of Florida airports require on-demand Jet A with flexible delivery scheduling.
Helicopter Operations
EMS, law enforcement, tourism, and corporate helicopter operations across Florida use Jet A for turbine-powered aircraft.
Aircraft Maintenance & Testing
MRO facilities and engine test cells require Jet A for ground runs, engine testing, and maintenance operations.

Storage Notes
Jet A must be stored in dedicated, clean aviation fuel tanks with water-separating filtration. Regular quality testing (particulate, water, and microbial) is required. Storage tanks must meet API 650 or equivalent standards. Fuel should be filtered to 5 microns or finer before aircraft fueling.
Jet A Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jet A fuel?
Jet A is a kerosene-type aviation turbine fuel that meets ASTM D1655 specifications. It is the standard jet fuel in the United States, used by commercial airlines, charter operators, private aviation, and military aircraft. Jet A has a flash point of 100°F minimum and a freezing point of -40°F maximum.
What is the difference between Jet A and Jet A-1?
The primary difference is freezing point. Jet A has a maximum freezing point of -40°F (-40°C), while Jet A-1 has a lower freezing point of -52.6°F (-47°C). Jet A is the standard in the United States; Jet A-1 is the international standard. Both meet similar performance specifications otherwise.
When will BettyJet offer Jet A delivery in Florida?
BettyJet is launching Jet A fuel delivery in Spring 2026. We are establishing supply relationships and logistics for aviation-grade fuel delivery to FBOs and aviation facilities across Florida. Contact us at (813) 694-8898 to discuss your Jet A requirements.
What quality documentation comes with Jet A delivery?
Every Jet A delivery from BettyJet includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Bill of Lading, and chain-of-custody documentation. Test results for appearance, density, flash point, and water content are provided with each load to meet FAA and insurance requirements.
Can Jet A be used in non-aviation applications?
While Jet A is technically a kerosene and can burn in some heating and industrial applications, it is significantly more expensive than heating kerosene or diesel. It is not cost-effective for non-aviation use. For heating or industrial kerosene needs, contact us about more economical alternatives.
