The centralized refueling system of planes successfully functions at the International Airport of Ashgabat. The advantage of the centralized refueling system of planes is the continuous supply of fuel to the aircraft tanks by stationary pump stations directly from the storage tanks of fuel and lubricants, which makes possible significantly to increase the number of simultaneously serviced aircraft and shorten the duration of refueling.
Centralized refueling at an international airport is a complex of technical facilities - tanks for receiving, storing, dispensing fuel, pump installations, filters, piping systems and refueling units. The main task of the complex is to reduce the time of parking of transit aircraft and ensure the timely arrival of passenger aircraft to the destination airports. With support of operating centralized refueling system of planes at the airport, Ashgabat aviators are able to reduce the time of parking of passenger airliners by five to six times. The content of fueling machines is much more expensive due to frequent wear of tires on a concrete strip, fuel consumption, the maintain of an additional driver's staff.
Particularly effective is centralized refueling system of planes at filling stations for refueling aircraft, carrying passengers and cargo for long distances, for example, liner Boeing-747, Boeing-777 and similar types, tanks that contain more than one hundred tons of aviation fuel.
If previously for liner Boeing-777 refueling, taking into account the fulfillment of aerodrome fuel quality control requirements, it took 5-6 hours, but now with the launch of the centralized refueling system, this takes ... one hour.
Aviation specialists already noted the significantly increased interest of foreign carriers not only in the use of the country's airspace for transit flights, but also in the airfields of the Turkmenhovayollary service for refueling. Thanks to modernization of number of Air Traffic Control facilities used on routes between Europe and Southeast Asia and in the airfield in the current year, the number of aircraft flying over the territory of the country and performing refueling has increased tens of times, which provided the country with a significant financial profit of 40 million USD for 10 months of the year.
