The Unimot Group completed its first aircraft refueling at Chopin Airport in Warsaw. The inaugural operation involved a SkyUp Airlines flight on the Warsaw–Hurghada route (Boeing 737). This marks another strategic airport in Poland, following Katowice-Pyrzowice and Kraków-Balice, where the company is active.
Expanding operations to Warsaw Chopin Airport is an important step in the development of the Unimot Group, as the company strengthens its position in the fuel sector by serving the largest airport in Poland.
“The first refueling at Chopin Airport is a significant milestone in the history of Unimot Aviation. It confirms our expertise in civil aviation fuel services and allows us to increase our presence in the strategic aviation fuel market in Poland,” says Cezary Krawczuk, president of the management board of Unimot Aviation. “We see that this segment continues to grow in our part of Europe – the increase in passenger numbers and the development of tourism and business directly translate into higher consumption of aviation fuel. This makes the market an important area for the Unimot Group, where we develop our logistical and operational competencies and generate added value,” he adds.
Unimot continues to expand its operations in the aviation fuel segment, currently supplying three key Polish airports: Warsaw Chopin Airport, Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice, and John Paul II Kraków-Balice International Airport.
The company operates an aircraft refueling vehicle capable of dosing additives, allowing it to provide JP8-spec fuel services. It also collaborates with entities using aviation kerosene (JET A-1) in technological processes or offering aircraft engine services. Unimot was the first company in Poland to deliver sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) physically to a Polish airport, with the first refueling of SAF taking place in April at Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport.
Within the Unimot Group, aircraft refueling is handled by Unimot Aviation Services, while the supply of aviation fuel is managed by Unimot Aviation.
