La Paz, January 12, 2024 (AN-YPFB). – YPFB sold more than 205 million liters of jet fuel in 2023, fuel used for aircraft turbines. The central axis of the country is the one that accumulates 90.10% of the total of these sales.
“The main sales of this fuel are focused on La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz because the largest number of users of national and international commercial flights are concentrated in these cities,” said Félix Abraham Cruz Taca, general manager of YPFB Aviación. subsidiary of the state oil company.
Jet fuel is a fuel that has excellent properties at low temperatures and combustion. Its high flash point and low freezing point allow it to function properly in the extreme conditions to which airplanes are subjected in flight conditions. Jet fuel is used as turbine fuel for jet aircraft.
Jet fuel is obtained from crude oil by fractional distillation at the YPFB refineries in Santa Cruz and Cochabamba (see infographic). “That is, the state oil company produces it, which allows it to supply aircraft at the different airports in the country,” Cruz added.
In 2022, the company sold more than 182 million liters and the figure increased by more than 205 million in 2023. The state oil company has 15 plants in the country, in which the fuel is sold.
