Aviation fuel supply, on the ground.
Airports run on more than jet fuel. Ground support equipment, maintenance fleets, contractors' plant and standby generators all take diesel, gasoline and DEF — and that is the side of the apron we supply.

What we supply
The ground side of an airport, fueled.
An airport is a large industrial site with an unusually low tolerance for anything stopping. Tugs, belt loaders, de-icers, catering trucks, sweepers, maintenance vehicles and the contractors rebuilding a taxiway all burn the same fuels a construction yard does, and they all have to be full before the first bank of departures.
Summa delivers clear diesel, dyed off-road diesel, gasoline and DEF to that equipment — on a standing schedule, into your own storage, or straight into the machine where it stands. The same tankers and the same drivers that run the rest of our commercial work.
We do not put fuel into aircraft. Into-plane fuelling is a separate, separately licensed business, and we would rather say so here than let you find out on the phone.
Who we fuel at an airport
Five kinds of operation, one delivery schedule.
GSE fleets
Tugs, loaders, de-icers, catering and service vehicles — fueled where they park, usually overnight, so the fleet is ready at the first departure bank.
Airport maintenance
Sweepers, mowers, snow equipment and the pickup fleet that keeps an airfield serviceable, refueled on a standing schedule.
Infrastructure contractors
Runway, taxiway, terminal and utility work. Excavators and generators on an airside job site take dyed off-road diesel, delivered to the compound.
Backup generators
Tower, terminal and navigation-aid generators topped up on schedule and refueled through an outage, so the run-time you planned for is the run-time you get.
Emergency response
A tank lower than the schedule assumed, weather, or a job that overran. Dispatch is staffed around the clock and the trucks are ours to move.
Tanks on site
Where a compound needs its own fuel on hand, we rent, lease or sell the storage and then keep it full.
Why it matters airside
Three things an airport buyer is actually checking.
Deliveries that fit a window
Airside access runs to a schedule and an escort. We work to the window you are given rather than arriving when it suits the truck.
Paperwork that clears an audit
Supply runs under a master service agreement, with delivery documentation that a facilities or compliance team can file without chasing it.
Our trucks, our drivers
Nothing is handed to a broker. A schedule change or an emergency is a phone call to the people who own the tankers, not a negotiation between three companies.
Common questions
Before you call.
Do you put fuel into aircraft?
No. Into-plane fuelling — Jet A and avgas into the wing — is a separate, separately licensed business and Summa does not do it. What we supply at an airport is the ground side: diesel, dyed off-road diesel, gasoline and DEF for support equipment, maintenance fleets, contractors' plant and standby generators.
Do you service airports that need fuel for ground equipment?
Yes. Ground support equipment, maintenance vehicles, generators and construction plant are exactly what this service covers, on a standing schedule or on call.
Can deliveries be coordinated around an airside project?
Yes. Deliveries can be scheduled around airfield access windows, escorts and project phases, into a site compound or directly to the equipment.
Can you fuel overnight or outside operating hours?
Yes. Most ground support fleets are fueled overnight so equipment is full at the start of the day. Dispatch runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Which airports do you cover?
