In the first half of 2026 (1H26), Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) supplied 2,698 million liters of fuel , through 416,000 aircraft refueling services.

The agency specified that the largest volume supplied was recorded at the stations in Mexico City, Cancun, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Tijuana, San Jose del Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Toluca, Queretaro and Merida.

“During this period, ASA maintained the quality and safety standards established in the national and international regulations applicable to aviation fuel. Ongoing monitoring of the entire supply chain, from receiving the fuel to final delivery to aircraft, ensures a reliable service aligned with industry best practices,” ASA emphasized.

ASA, which reports to the  Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) , supplies jet fuel and aviation gas to national and international commercial airlines , cargo aviation companies, executive aviation, general aviation and aircraft for government and state operations.

Furthermore, it has the capacity to respond to increases in consumption during holiday seasons, international events, contingencies, mass events and high air operation seasons.

On average, it delivers 14.8 million liters of jet fuel and aviation gas daily.

“The agency maintains continuity of service through logistical planning, inventory availability and installed operational capacity, and at the same time promotes actions to strengthen the future incorporation of sustainable fuels without affecting operational safety or the reliability of supply,” he stated.

Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) announced that over the next five years it will allocate resources to improve its fuel distribution infrastructure, in addition to participating in other businesses such as Mexicana’s MRO and biofuels .

“Participate in a partnership for the acquisition and operation of Mexicana’s aircraft maintenance base (MRO), in order to contribute to the connectivity and development of the aeronautical sector in our country,” the organization indicated, without giving further details, in its 2025-2030 Institutional Program , released to the National Commission  for Regulatory Improvement ( Conamer) .

The above, he explained, is part of his new goals to enter strategic areas of air transportation by providing specialized services, advice, and technical consulting with the goal of strengthening the aviation sector.

Likewise, it announced that it will invest in priority infrastructure, such as new fuel stations and expanding the capacity of others . It will also renew its specialized equipment to provide highly qualified service through sustainable, efficient, and safe operations that comply with international standards.

“In this way, ASA will maintain its leadership in the aviation fuel market, helping to ensure that the benefits of progress are distributed more equitably throughout the country. It will also contribute to closing regional development gaps, guaranteeing quality services, and strengthening national energy security,” he stated.

To this end, it will increase the storage capacity of fuel stations in Oaxaca, Querétaro, Ciudad Juárez, and the Bajío region, in addition to building a tanker truck shuttle in polygon 2 of Mexico City International Airport (AICM) .

It will also complete the modernization of the infrastructure of the fuel station storage system in Cancún, the construction of new fuel stations in San José del Cabo, Tepic, and Puerto Escondido, the replacement of the turbo-sino pipeline at Terminal 1 of the AICM, and the renewal of the supply vehicle fleet.

Regarding sustainable aviation fuels , ASA will promote the development of infrastructure for storage and blending, with the construction of two bioturbosine centers in Mexico City and Cancun .

The agency noted that starting in 2027, eight Mexican airline operators must monitor, report, verify, and offset their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and net-zero emissions must be achieved by 2050 .

“Failure to comply with these agreements will continue to increase greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the ability to attract investment and tourism, and Mexico will lose competitiveness compared to countries with advanced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) policies,” he stated.

He asserted that the lack of this type of fuel could limit the operations of international airlines in the country , in addition to putting Mexican airlines at a disadvantage compared to those that already use it.

In the case of specialized aeronautical personnel and in light of the deficiencies in training and certification, the Ministry will seek to create educational options by strengthening its International Training Center (CIIASA) and creating the Division of University and Postgraduate Studies.

“(It) contemplates the training of 150,000 professionals annually in strategic sectors, with the conviction that the country has the talent, capacity, and resources to consolidate itself as one of the most dynamic economies in the world,” he said.

The initiative, which was announced within the framework of ICAO Climate and Aviation Week 2025 , will be carried out through the Assistance, Capacity Building and Training for SAF (ACT-SAF) Program , in collaboration with Mexican technical groups, coordinated by the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) and Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) .

The ICAO ACT-SAF program aims to assist countries in the adoption of SAFsby providing information on policy and regulatory frameworks, feedstock assessments, and production options. It also seeks to facilitate the implementation and financing of these fuels.

With its support for this project, Volaris marks a milestone for airlines seeking to reduce emissions , as it is the first time that an airline in the Americas has actively contributed to this fund with investments.

Airbus and ICAO also announced that feasibility studies will also be conducted in Argentina, Panama, and Peru.

SAFs have been recognized as one of the leading solutions for reducing CO₂ emissions . These fuels can reduce emissions by up to 80%; they can also help reduce other aviation-related pollutants, such as sulfur oxide and particulate matter.

Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) reported in a press release that it invested more than 655 million pesos (mdp) for the acquisition ofspecialized equipment for the supply of aviation fuels, with which it seeks to maintain high standards of quality and efficiency in its operations.

He specified that it will add 40 tankers for jet fuel and 15 dispensers , 10 suction units and 15 tankers for jet fuel, which will directly benefit 38 of its fuel stations, including Mexico City, Cancun, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta, San Jose del Cabo, Queretaro, Bajio, Reynosa, Tepic and Poza Rica.

“In order to continue offering quality and highly specialized services, ASA has made a significant investment in the acquisition of new equipment with cutting-edge technology. With this new fleet, it has a total of 447 supply units that will allow it to optimize operations and guarantee an uninterrupted fuel service to airlines,” he said.

He also explained that the inclusion of these new vehicles allows for more efficient supply services , increasing the safety of people and facilities, as they are state-of-the-art equipment and manufactured under the highest quality standards and in compliance with national and international regulations.

In addition to the reduction in times that will be achieved in each supply operation, airlines will also be able to ensure that their flights are carried out with maximum punctuality, as well as continuing to guarantee that their fuels meet the demands of the national and international market.

ASA announced that it will continue to acquire more vehicles in order to replace and modernize all its vehicles over the next six years, and plans to purchase at least 40 new vehicles per year.

Therefore, the acquisition of 40 new units is scheduled for 2025, with an investment of more than 400 million pesos.
