Air BP has strengthened its fuelling network in the South of France with the addition of a new location at Toulon Hyères Airport (TLN\LFTH). Following an agreement with airport operator, Vinci Airports, effective immediately Air BP will be the sole fuel provider of Jet A-1 at the airport until the end of 2020. Air BP will serve both its general and commercial aviation customers in the region. The new location will complement Air BP’s nearby operations at Marseille-Provence (MRS/LFML), Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ/LFMD) and Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE/LFMN) airports. The new location will also welcome Sterling Card customers, making it the 44th location in France to become part of the global Sterling Card network.

Air BP will serve a range of commercial airline customers including HOP! Air France, Jetairfly.com, Cityjet, Volotea, Air Corsica, Flybe, Transavia.com and Tunisair Express who operate regular scheduled services from the airport.
