Jet fuel in Sardinia: Saras’s June supply increase (+38%) ensured the continuity of the island’s air travel
The European refining system is a strategic asset for energy security. In recent years, the closure of numerous plants in Europe and the growing dependence on power, particularly jet fuel, have made the approval of products essential for mobility and the economic stability of local communities more vulnerable.
Today’s refineries are advanced technological hubs, equipped with the know-how and tools essential for developing innovative supply chains, from biofuels to e-fuels, which contribute to carbon neutrality.
In this context, Saras’s role in Sardinia is part of a broader vision: ensuring supply security today while building tomorrow’s energy solutions.
Sardinia’s specificity
Due to its island status, Sardinia requires stable and timely jet fuel supplies: these are essential to maintain regular flight connections and to support a tourist season that directly impacts the regional economy. Any change in product availability immediately impacts the airports’ ability to ensure operational continuity.
Saras’role in 2026 in jet fuel supplies to sardinian airports
In 2026, Saras significantly increased jet fuel supplies compared to the previous year, ensuring regular supplies to Sardinian airports. More specifically, in June 2026, the quantities of jet fuel supplied by Saras to the Cagliari-Elmas, Olbia, and Alghero airports increased by approximately 38% compared to June of the previous year.
Furthermore, in June 2026, the refinery increased the number of tankers loading on Saturdays by over 30% (compared to June 2025), to accommodate the increase in traffic, ensuring full airport operations, territorial continuity, and the stability of the transport system.
In conclusion, Saras’industrial presence on the island contributes significantly to the security of supplies, reducing the risks arising from dependence on imports and safeguarding the continuity of air traffic, both residential and tourist.
