PanARMENIAN.Net - A top Iranian oil industry official said the necessary infrastructure for exporting jet fuel is ready and the first consignment of Iran-made fuel will soon be sent to foreign customers.

"The first phase of jet fuel exports will be via Bandar Abbas refinery and export docks," Jalil Salari, the Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC), was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.

He said that the completed pipeline connects Bandar Abbas oil storage areas to loading facilities at the Foulad dock and is currently undergoing final cleaning and testing operations.

Salari added that exporting jet fuel needs special infrastructure because it should be produced under special conditions free from any contamination,.

The NIORDC director said neighboring countries, Central Asia and East Asia are the most important markets for Iran's jet fuel, adding that international demand for jet fuel was high.

According to Press TV, a total daily amount of 3 million liters of jet fuel is being currently supplied to domestic and foreign airlines in about 50 airplane fueling centers in Iran.
