In response to recent allegations regarding the supply of contaminated aviation fuel to Max Air, Octavus firmly denies these claims. As a reputable aviation fuel supplier, we maintain the highest standards of quality and integrity in our operations.
We want to emphasize that these accusations are baseless and without merit. Octavus adheres strictly to international standards and industry best practices in fuel supply and distribution. Our products are sourced exclusively from trusted partners such as NNPC and British Petroleum (BP), ensuring their reliability and safety.
We take pride in our role as a major supplier to both Nigerian and international carriers, delivering high-quality aviation fuels with utmost care. While unfortunate incidents involving Max Air’s aircraft have occurred, there is no evidence linking the fuel supplied by Octavus to these occurrences. In fact, we have successfully fueled numerous Max Air Hajj flights without any issues.
It is worth noting that we handle a significant volume of flights daily, and we have received no complaints about the quality of our products. Our track record and the trust placed in us by Airlines Operators of Nigeria (AON), who nominated us multiple times to handle the NNPC Intervention cargoes, attest to our reliability.
Given the complexities of aviation operations, it is vital to conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine the actual cause of these incidents. Octavus fully cooperates with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other relevant authorities in conducting a thorough inquiry.
We prioritize the safety of the aviation industry and remain committed to upholding the highest safety and quality standards for our fuel products. As a responsible corporate entity, Octavus assures our valued clients and the public that we will leave no stone unturned in establishing the truth behind these allegations. We will continue working closely with regulatory bodies to ensure the utmost safety and integrity in the aviation sector.
