Orlando ... ASIG®, an industry leader in aviation services, announced today that it has been awarded two separate aviation fuel service contracts at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD).  ASIG was selected by a consortium of 32 airlines to provide operation and maintenance of the jet fuel facility which supplies all of the carriers serving IAD.  The fuel facility is the largest on-airport jet fuel system in the United States.  Separately, a committee of 23 domestic, international and air freight carriers chose ASIG as their new provider for aircraft refueling services.  ASIG expects to fuel approximately 10,500 flights monthly.  Operations commenced on August 1st. 

In commenting on the award, Keith P. Ryan, President, said, "We are extremely pleased to have been selected by both the consortium and into-plane committee at IAD.  It is a clear vote of confidence by the carriers as to our capabilities and expertise in the provision of aviation fuel services.  ASIG has worked closely with the previous operator to ensure a smooth and seamless transition of operations.  We have also retained the majority of existing management and staff who are well regarded for the quality of service they provide.  Under the ASIG umbrella, IAD will also benefit from our continuous investment in HS&E and training programs, which we view as critical to providing safe, reliable service."
